Show HN: Whetuu – a zero-config cross-shell prompt written in Zig (yamafaktory.github.io)

I didn't quite gel with it, seemed overly, well opinionated for no meaningful performance or otherwise improvement to any other simple prompt.

This is awesome -

*A history picker on the up arrow*

*Commands are recorded once they finish, and only when they exited cleanly, so typos never clutter the list.*

Where the history is stored? Is it possible to store in single place like user root dir?*

Does that mean you can't go up and fix a typo? If so, that sounds strictly worse than what you get by default from the shell (which is up arrow, ctrl-r and various other methods of history searching, and history substitution or editing to fix errors).

Thanks for the feedback! You can run `whetuu paths` and will get that, I'll fix the readme.

please stop piping into bash or sh. force people to use the editor, read the install script, and tell them how to run it

"curl | sh" certainly feels wrong, but in the end, even if you download and read the script before running commands, let's be real: you are going to run a binary that you didn't inspect.

Not saying you shouldn't check your scripts, I usually do, I like to know where the files are going in case the installer messes up, but the risks tend to be overstated compared to running the executable itself.
