Please do post. I'd love to have a smaller bash alternative to this tool.

- Save a copy of your current .bash_history file. You can import its contents into the sqlite "commands" table later.

- Add both files in this gist to $BASH_HOME.

- Install .bash-preexec.sh in $HOME (see https://github.com/rcaloras/bash-preexec).

- Append this command to your shell startup file (e.g. $BASH_HOME/.bashrc):

    source $BASH_HOME/bash_history.sh

- Open a new bash window. You should see the message "bash-preexec is loaded."

Enjoy! Please share your feedback in the gist comments section.

(Memo to self: Package this up in a repo with a proper README.)
