Hello there,
At the end of Lesson 5, in the "Better Private Key Management" section, Patrick shows a way to clear the command history from the terminal (to hide the password to the encrypted private key).
I have zsh installed, not bash, and it uses a different command to clear the command history. The problem is that the
history -p
command in zsh only clears the history during the local session. I did a little experiment and found that:history -p
and restart the terminal, they will be saved in the history file (including our password for the private key), despite the fact that they were deleted in the local terminal instance..zsh_history
I hope it will be useful to someone :)
