    Highlights:

    🆕 History: optionally save abbreviations to your shell history

  2. Spotlight search seems to have lost/corrupted its index after upgrading to Sequoia, causing a hassle launching apps because who clicks things?

    `sudo mdutil -i on -Eav`

    The ui will show the status of the index rebuild.

    What is it?

    - `mdutil` - utility to manage Spotlight indexes
    - `-i on` - turn indexing on
    - `-E` - erase and rebuild index
    - `-a` - all stores on all volumes
    - `-v` - verbose
