If you install atuin to give it a try, be careful to backup your history first. I installed it once and it deleted all my zsh history for some reason. I've rarely been more aware of how much I rely on my history to get things done.

Also it made atuin useless to me since I didn't have a history anymore so couldn't even try it properly.

Seems like general good advice, but for me it was simply a matter of `atuin import auto`. The initial response was similar (as in, here is no history, where is my history, this is useless). Then I read this page where it said to import, which seemed relevant:

Not sure if that was the missing case for you, but just in case someone reads this and gets the same feeling as me
