Blasting that away in the brutal way that the default behaviour of clear does is hard to justify. I think I will put alias clear='clear -x' into my .bashrc and if I somehow ever want to destroy all session information, I can use \clear or create alias brutally-delete-everything='\clear' 😉 | |

| Oct 26, 2021 at 8:22 | comment | added | YorSubs | Ah, that's great, as simple as doing clear -x, I should have noticed that before ... 🤔 Thanks. | |
