| Apr 6, 2016 at 17:27 | comment | added | Al.G. | For lazy future readers like me who don't know how to do it yet: setopt HIST_IGNORE_SPACE in ~/.zshrc | |
| Oct 14, 2012 at 2:15 | comment | added | Will Norris | in order to have zsh ignore a bunch of basic common commands, I aliased them all to have a space in front... for c (ls fg bg jobs exit clear reset); do alias $c=" $c"; done | |

| Jan 19, 2011 at 14:20 | comment | added | Keith | @xeno zsh provides a hook function preexec that can be used for that. If it returns non-zero the command is not saved in history. | |
| Jan 19, 2011 at 11:01 | comment | added | dogbane | AFAIK there is no equivalent of bash's HISTIGNORE in zsh. | |
| Jan 19, 2011 at 10:57 | comment | added | xenoterracide | any chance @mmckinst answer works in zsh? or something like it? or perhaps any command that includes the command | somecommand | |
