How to clear previous terminal commands?

Hey guys and gals,

Do any of you know how I can go about clearing out previous Terminal commands? That way when I tap the up arrow on my keyboard, the last command isn't shown?

Thanks!

I'm not sure. Why would you want this I must ask. I find it very useful.

If I remember correctly =

history clear

Just curious, that's all.

EDIT: Just tried "history clear" but it wouldn't take it, so I did a quick search on the History command itself and apparently, it's history -c. Thank you ajx22 for leading me in the right direction. 🙂

😕 ~ not at a Mac @ present...

if not the above - try:

history -c

------it's standard Unix commands in terminal...

If you're using BASH:

rm .bash_history
