I have the following dotfile:

$ cat ~/.haskeline
historyDuplicates: IgnoreConsecutive

However running stack ghci my settings don't seem to get picked up. I'm on macOS 10.13.6. Any ideas?

Hm, I just tried that and it worked for me. A few thoughts:

Do you see the same behavior with other options (for example, completionType or editMode?
IgnoreConsecutive won't delete any duplicate entries that already exist, so it may just not be acting like you'd expect. Does IgnoreAll work better for you?
What OS and version of GHC are you using?

Ah, thank you, I didn't realise that this doesn't work on existing entries!
