  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 with setopt HIST_IGNORE_SPACE :)

      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.

      That’s so cool, how have I never discovered that after so many years of using Linux?..
