mcfly
Fly through your shell history. Great Scott!
INSTALLATION
$ brew install mcfly$ sudo port install mcfly
DESCRIPTION
McFly replaces your default ctrl-r shell history search with an intelligent search engine that takes into account your working directory and the context of recently executed commands. McFly's suggestions are prioritized in real time with a small neural network.
TL;DR: an upgraded ctrl-r where history results make sense for what you're working on right now.
