Every sysadmin or developer has been in this situation: "Three months ago I wrote a complex command that worked perfectly... what was it?". The standard Linux configuration only saves the last 500-1000 commands, meaning your valuable knowledge is constantly being erased.
In this article, we'll configure the terminal to remember 1 million lines, sync history between all open windows in real-time, and search through it lightning-fast.
What you'll learn:
- Configure Bash to store 1 million command history entries
- Real-time history synchronization across all terminal windows
- Add timestamps to every command for better context
- Lightning-fast fuzzy search with FZF
- Security tips: hide sensitive commands from history
Why this matters: Your terminal history becomes a searchable knowledge base of everything you've ever done, accessible with a single keystroke (Ctrl+R).
