Atuin Desktop is wonderful.
At first I didn’t know what I wanted to do with it…then I realized basically anything I would want to do more than once should go in here.
One off CSV export from a custom sql query? It’s in Atuin.
Need to onboard a new dev across all our various repos and tools? Shared Atuin runbook.
Basically any kind of manual process I’ve ever needed now lives in Atuin and is almost entirely automated. It’s wonderful.
Used to do all this stuff with Confluence and a bunch of copy-paste. No more.

I love atuin -- the shared shell command memory function solves a problem that I had (recalling obscure CLI commands)
I'll try atuin desktop and I hope it succeeds, but I can't say that it solves any particular problem that I have and am aware of.

I had the same thoughts a few months ago, and then someone told me Atuin Desktop is made for DevOps and the likes, in order to scale manual and repetitive operations accross many teams. This made sense to me.

Tried it few days ago, and came to same conclusion myself. In a way, it's like Ansible but simpler for some use cases.

We have CI actions we use to configure and deploy dev namespaces. We document a bunch of steps for these actions in a doc, including situational tweaks. I could see this being a great replacement for that, given the right integrations.

I had the same feeling. It looks like a super cool product, and I'd love to do something with it. I just have no idea what.

Atuin seemed like an interesting way to sync shell history across machines. That wasn't a problem I personally had, but I could've seen myself giving it a try.
These recent developments with the Desktop tool, and now what seems like a Jupyter-like replacement for... shell scripts(?)... sounds completely alien to me. I'm sure it solves some problem for somebody, but it's far removed from any problem I've ever had. Good luck with the project, as it does look like a lot of work and thought went into it.

Honestly atuin is great even if you dont sync history.
