Bash Version: 4.4
Patch Level: 19
Release Status: release
Description:
I set the following environment variable:
- export HISTTIMEFORMAT='%Y-%m-%d %T '
to show timestamp in history
- export PROMPT_COMMAND='history -a; history -n'
to share history between different terminals
In this environment sometimes command lines in history are joined by LF.
