The shell history really ought to have some sort of de-dupe feature. Too many lines of history get taken up by duplicate entries!

Use HISTCONTROL=erasedups in your .bashrc

try adding setopt HIST_SAVE_NO_DUPS to your .zshrc

you could also have a look at HIST_FIND_NO_DUPS and HIST_IGNORE_ALL_DUPS (more options at http://zsh.sourceforge.net/Doc/Release/Options.html )

If you still use bash, now is a good time to upgrade to zsh

'Upgrade' and a sourceforge link don't usually go together :-/

I'm a zsh user but am surprised that you guys are still using sourceforge instead of github.

If you use bash, have a look at HISTIGNORE and HISTCONTROL.
