TERMINAL FILE OF COMMAND LINES

domubpkm

For users (as me), tested with Xenial.

My method if i want to clean the file of TERMINAL in which are recorded command lines, with the phone only.

First, the file is .bash_history that I can see in FILE MANAGER (I must activate Show Hidden Files) under the folders when I am at HOME.
I Copy the file .bash_history.
Now i use TEDIT (of Fulvio)
I must paste the file in
.local/share/tedit.fulvio
I must delete the point of .bash_history to get a file name bash_history (if i do not this operation the file isn't seen by TEDIT).
I Open the file with TEDIT.
I can see all the command lines used and now i can delete the lines i want.
I record the file after the modification operations.
I rename the TEDIT file bash_history in
.bash_history
I copy the TEDIT get file .bash_history
I paste the .bash_history in HOME : by this way i substitute the old file by the new file.

Now when i open TERMINAL there are only the command lines i want.

Maybe you can adjust the procedure.

Good Cleaning !

@domubpkm you can edit any text file in your terminal using for example nano

The terminal even has a dedicated layout for it.
