Bashhub – Bash History in the Cloud

There are people who use bash enough--and in such a way--that they'd benefit from this kind of .bash_history backup and analysis.

There are people who would not be wary of sending this kind of information remotely to be stored by someone else.

But I think the intersection of these types would be small.

Well, the people in the first category will usually be smart enough to setup a sync without using an external "cloud service".

Apart from some, like myself.

How would you go about it, given the need for 2-way sync? I've ruled out rsync, could see Git working but not particularly performant to run every 20 seconds to keep the history in sync between machines.

I use git to sync my dotfiles (pulled in by SaltStack because I'm crazy enough to put my workstations under config management) I just have a script that does a git commit -am "automated push on $(date)" that triggers when I lock my screen. It's not perfect but it works well enough for my needs, though I don't sync my bash history.
