Mcfly – neural-network powered directory and context-aware shell history search

Is this not overkill for a reasonably straight forward recommendation system?

Of course it is. fzf [1] is all you need, and it behaves deterministically.

Yes, a linear weighting of factors would be perfectly fine.

But we're in 2020. A small two-layer MLP has a negligible impact when compared to the work to (e.g.) output the current git branch at every command prompt.

What does overkill mean? I think unless shell history search is a "solved problem", which I don't believe is possible, there isn't such a thing as overkill.

Maybe. But it's worth a try.
