The command ipython history clear is used in IPython to clear the command history.
IPython is an enhanced interactive shell for Python programming language. It provides additional features and enhancements compared to the default Python shell. One of these features is command history, which allows users to view and access previously executed commands.
By default, IPython stores a history of previously entered commands in a file. This history can be accessed and reused using various command-line shortcuts. However, at times, you may want to clear the command history and start fresh.
The ipython history clear command is used to clear all the recorded command history in IPython. When executed, it permanently deletes all previously entered commands and gives you a clean slate for starting new command sequences.
It is essential to note that this command cannot be undone, and there is no way to recover the cleared history. Therefore, it's vital to use this command with caution, as it will completely erase your command history.
