Save your first command

Install recall, create an account, and save your first command in under 5 minutes.

01Install recall

Run this in your terminal:

macOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://devkitvault.com/recall/install.sh | sh
Windows (PowerShell)
irm https://devkitvault.com/recall/install.ps1 | iex
npm (Node.js 18+)
npm install -g @devkitvault/recall

VS Code: install the recall extension on the Visual Studio Marketplace. All three paths use the same account and vault.

02Create an account

recall auth register

Enter your username, email, and password. You'll be logged in automatically.

03Save a command

Think of a command you use often. Let's save it:

recall save "git log --oneline -10" --name git-log --tags git✔ Saved as "git-log"

Tip: The --name flag gives it a short memorable name. The --tags flag helps you find it later.

04Run it from anywhere

recall run git-log $ git log --oneline -10abc1234 feat: add templates

That's it. The command runs exactly as you saved it, from any machine you're logged into.

05Search and list

recall listrecall search dockerrecall list --tag git
