Clearing history doesn't work! #442

Closed mehdiMj-ir closed 1 year ago

mehdiMj-ir commented 1 year ago

Hi dear developer. I use this app on my bash everyday and I'm thankful :) Recently there is a bug in clearing history and I'd like to report. To reproduce the bug:

  1. Type some commands like ls and cd
  2. Type history -c to clear bash history
  3. Close the current terminal
  4. Open another terminal if you type history you will see command which supposed to be clear.

That's the intentional behavior configured by the following line:

https://github.com/ohmybash/oh-my-bash/blob/dd7807fcd2a43339c03402744551eac12f0d669a/lib/history.sh#L13

If you would like to suppress the behavior (i.e., if you would like to entirely replace the command history saved in ~/.bash_history (or $HISTFILE) with that of the last Bash session no matter what history other sessions have saved in the past), you can add the following line after source "$OSH"/oh-my-bash.sh in your ~/.bashrc:

shopt -u histappend

I use this on my servers too and looks like I have to append shopt -u histappend to all of my .bashrc files but hey thanks for your kind response :)
