And how do I load the project-specific history (and _only_ that one) in
the new instance ?
The new instance will execute all startup scripts (and that's OK because
of all other things like themes, settings, aliases, ...) and load the
"default" history.
So I still can not have the new history _without_ the "default" history
but counter starting at 1. This means I'm in the same situation again.
I have a second use case for clearing the history. I only started my
request with the use case that's easier to explain.
For bash, I wrote a function that allows me to edit the _whole_ history
(not only the last entry like fc), even reorder entries. This is it:
history_edit() {
if [ "${EDITOR}" == "" ]
then
echo "EDITOR must be set."
return 1
fi
tempdir="/tmp/${USER}"
tempfile="/tmp/${USER}/bash_history.$$"
if [ ! -d "${tempdir}" ]
then
mkdir -p "${tempdir}"
chmod 770 "${tempdir}"
fi
history -w "${tempfile}"
${EDITOR} "${tempfile}"
history -c
history -r "${tempfile}"
rm -f "${tempfile}"
}
I just cannot work without that. All of my working style is adapted to
having that option.
Markus
