Temporary Disabling Bash History

by Uroš, in Linux Stuff (No Comments)

Let’s assume that you want execute some command that you don’t want in your history (e.g. commands with  passwords), but you don’t want to clear your entire history because of these.

all you need to do is to run the following command:

unset HISTFILE

or

HISTFILE=/dev/null

this will disable history for your current session.
