I had to modify the recipe slightly to work on my history, as I've changed the reported format slightly to include human readable datestamps by setting <code>HISTTIMEFORMAT='%a %Y-%m-%d %H:%M '</code>; this format required changing $2 to $5 in the awk bits. Other settings I've tweaked include: <code> shopt -s histreedit shopt -s histappend HISTCONTROL=ignoredups HISTSIZE=25000 HISTFILESIZE=25000 </code> the details of all of which are findable in the bash(1) manpage. I too am a creature of habit:

246 vim
224 sudo
222 ls
191 cd
115 qu
106 bzr
72 apt-cache

(’qu’ is an alias for ‘quilt’.) I had to modify the recipe slightly to work on my history, as I’ve changed the reported format slightly to include human readable datestamps by setting HISTTIMEFORMAT='%a %Y-%m-%d %H:%M '; this format required changing $2 to $5 in the awk bits.

Other settings I’ve tweaked include:


shopt -s histreedit
shopt -s histappend
HISTCONTROL=ignoredups
HISTSIZE=25000
HISTFILESIZE=25000

the details of all of which are findable in the bash(1) manpage.

alias cd='cd "$@" && ls'
