autonomy (what’s the importance of having control over when and how you work?), and
mission (how vital is a cause for transforming work into something meaningful?).

HISTIGNORE ¶
A colon-separated list of patterns used to decide which command lines should be saved on the history list. Each pattern is anchored at the beginning of the line and must match the complete line (no implicit ‘*’ is appended). Each pattern is tested against the line after the checks specified by HISTCONTROL are applied.
