Zsh History Sanitizer

Overview

The Zsh History Sanitizer is a simple shell script designed to clean and sanitize your Zsh command history. By removing non-readable or corrupted entries, it ensures that your .zsh_history file remains tidy and secure, preventing the accidental exposure of sensitive commands.

Features

• Backup Creation: Renames the current .zsh_history file to .zsh_history_bad for backup purposes.
• Readability Enhancement: Utilizes the strings command to extract readable entries and create a new .zsh_history file.
• Instant Reload: Immediately reloads the cleaned history into the current shell session.
• Cleanup: Removes the backup file after processing to save space.
