about .bash_history file2 Replies
The .bash_history file stores previous commands you entered in the shell, so your system shouldn't cease to function without it. However you won't be able to press the up-arrow and go through the previous commands you've entered previously.
Learning the Bash Shell has some great information about the history file.
For each instance, Bash keeps a local history in memory. This local history is available only to that one instance. When the instance exits, the local history is saved to the .bash_history file and becomes available to instances created subsequently.
Deleting .bash_history does not delete an instance's local history. |
