        Holy shit, I never knew you could do that! I’ve always really wanted a feature to stop random commands from being added to my history.

          Some shells provide ways to prevent some commands to be added to the history

          Set the HISTCONTROLvariable. If it is set to ignorespace then commands entered with a leading-space will not be stored in the history.

      rm -r *

      Also, if you have to type that, don’t use the numpad: / is only one key away from *. If you finger snags the / key on its way to * and you happen to be root, your root partition will go bye-bye.
