Escaping from .bash_history
 

I don't want my actions to be logged in ~/.bash_history, but I want to keep it for future investigations. So, renaming and deleting the file isn't a solution. How can I escape from logging there?

Put the line

unset HISTFILE

in your .bashrc file (maybe putting it in .bash_profile also works, but that's where I've got it).

export HISTFILE=/dev/null
also works :)
This thread have been discussed here before, I should have done a search ;)
