## What it is
RESH is a context-aware replacement for zsh and bash shell history written in Go. It provides full-text search over past commands via Ctrl+R, ranking results by current directory, git repo, and exit status.

## Use cases
- search shell history with ctrl-r
- find commands I ran in this directory before
- better bash history
- contextual zsh history search
- full-text search terminal command history
- recall commands from a specific git repo

## When to choose
- you use zsh or bash on Linux or macOS and want smarter history search
- you want history results ranked by working directory and git context
- you want a simple one-command install replacing default history

## When to avoid
- you use fish or other shells without zsh/bash support
- you need a maintained tool with frequent updates
- you want cloud-synced history across machines

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: maintenance
- function: search-engine, cli, developer-tools
- domain: developer-tools
- platform: cli
- tags: shell-history, zsh, bash, ctrl-r, context-aware, terminal, command-line, linux, macos
