I’ve used distrobox more and more and am at the point where I need to start saving and integrating history differently. Or like, when I’m installing and building something complicated, I need to start saving that specific session’s history. I am curious what others might be doing and looking for simple advice and ideas.
HISTSIZE=50000 HISTFILESIZE=200000 # Append history after every command export PROMPT_COMMAND='history -a'
I can’t count on how many times in the past that I’ve had long running systems crash or OOM kill basically everything and I just lose my entire history for the week. Now I’m free to overtax my system as much as I want.
