QOTD: How large is your shell history? No history, 500 lines, 10’000, 100’000, something else?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de mine is -1.

@bender@twtxt.net To infinity and beyond? 🤔 How large is it currently? history | wc -l

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I’ll tell you in a couple of weeks. Currently on our way to Japan. 😊

It’s 500. I never changed it, so that’s the default of either Bash or my distro. It’s fine for me.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de wc -l .zsh_history gives me 7100. That’s surprisingly a bit more than I thought. I used to regularly clear new stuff by hand and keep important commands to about twenty-something. I don’t recall the numbers anymore.

~115k on this machine, similar on others. I’d say if I summed them all up I’d be in the millions 😅
