history: Delete the history entry at the specified offset.
$ history -d ${offset}
try on your machine
The command "history -d ${offset}" is used to delete a specific entry from the command history in a Unix-like operating system (such as Linux). Here's how it is explained:
- "history" is a command that displays a list of previously executed commands in the shell session.
- "-d" is an option/flag that specifies the deletion operation.
- "${offset}" is a placeholder for a numerical value that represents the index of the command to be deleted from the history.
When you execute this command with a specific value for "${offset}", it will remove the command at that index from the history. The history will be renumbered accordingly, so the previous commands' numbering might change.

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
