The thing I found frustrating was I wanted to merge changes with just files without their sync server (i.e. just import this other atuin sqlite dB) so I raised a PR to support that.

They closed it (which is fine) but there is no offline migrate alternative.

It's a shame, and fair enough, their project, but I don't think my wishes and the projects are very aligned.

I keep half meaning to move back to zsh-histdb (I think that's what it was called) but haven't found an impetus to.

I'll probably check if there's a file based sync option next time I switch machines and decide then.
