zsh-histdb is such a gem and I wish was just the default everywhere.
1. Download the `sqlite-history.zsh` file to somewhere (or use oh-my-zsh)
2. Source that file in your `.zshrc`
3. Run `autoload -Uz add-zsh-hook` in your `.zshrc`
That's it. I can't imagine a way it could be easier in fact.
Are you referring to the "Note for OS X users" section in the README? If so, it's only additional step, so 4 in total... I know macOS users might not be the most technical, but I think most of them (at least developers on macOS) should be able to follow it :)
btw my comment was not here to tell people I was lazy. It was here as feedback. Users are lazy. Online businesses track and look to decrease the number of clicks that lead to a sale, there's no reason developer tools shouldn't try to do the same :)
(I know it's free, not complaining)
