In some occasion, if you don't want to leave any trace on what you've done on your Linux bash console or terminal or SSH client, use the following command:
Bash:
history -c && history -w && exit
The command above clears any history, writes an empty value of history (since it was cleared) and exits the terminal 🤓
Let me know down below if you find this article useful, or perhaps you have a better idea of doing this 👍
