Linux is just as bad though
.zsh_history
records every command you run!(/s, obviously...)
Actually no... well for zsh I don't know but for bash at least if you start the command with a space it won't be added to history. So not every command, you still get to (conveniently IMHO) decide that too!
Right, you can control that behavior in bash with the
HISTCONTROL
variable, and in zsh withsetopt HIST_IGNORE_SPACE
:)That's so cool, how have I never discovered that after so many years of using Linux?...
Iirc you can also just disable it with
unset HISTFILE
. This will reset when you open a new session unless you put it in the.zshrc
or something.
