I've been using `history -a`, but what do `history -c` and `history -r` do? It looks like it clears your shell's history, and then re-populates it from the .ba

It looks like it clears your shell's history, and then re-populates it from the .bash_history file?
- Flenser 12y agohistory -a # append history lines from this session to the history file. #History file may contain history from other terminals not in this one so: history -c # clear [in-memory] history list deleting all of the entries. history -r # read the history file and append the contents to the history list instead. I've heard that -n can be problematic which is why -c then -r is used.
