I know it's not an answer to your question, but this helps to keep the
bash history shorter:

export HISTCONTROL=ignoredups
or
export HISTCONTROL=erasedups

Unless of course you want to join that meme where people show off the top
commands in their bash history:
cut -f1 -d" " .bash_history | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr | head -n 30
