I'm okay closing the thread. There is enough info out there. I also read that I could type nano .bashrc scroll down to HISTORY and change the number to 0. That would be "permanent" though. I do appreciate Osprey's comment about the history could actually be more helpful than not, especially when...
When I type
echo 'set +o history' >> ~/.bashrc
. ~/.bashrc
the up arrow still scrolled through history.
I am a noob, but learning it. I have a basic understanding of .bashrc and how to use it to enter aliases, but I think I am not entering your code correctly.
Don't know if this is distro specific (this pc has Mint 20.3 MATE). When in terminal and I hit the up or down arrow, it scrolls through all of my previous entries rather than moving the cursor up or down the page. Outside of be being annoying, it is a security nightmare. How do I fix this issue...
