On: Keeping a long shell history

[jackhalford]

I recently reinstalled my personal laptop to distro hop. the only two files I migrated over were my pgp key and .bash_history, the bash history is around 8000 lines I don’t want to loose.

sometimes I ‘sort | uniq’ the bash history to filter about duplicates

I often use diff in this way to compare command outputs: diff <(somecmd | sort) <(othercmd | sort)
