Terminal loading ever slowly

Update 2023.: the following might be total nonsense now that I look at it so it might not help you in any way except for criminal offences but then again.......it won't! cheers!

Terminal loaded a fair bit slower than usual, courtesy of .bash_history file that is loaded on every of any terminal, so this simple solution popped up after a brief search.
What this does is empties .bash_history, so that bash has no trouble with reading it every time if it's a lengthy one. Enter it in a terminal of your choosing.

> "$HISTFILE"

If you're not at all familiar with what this command means and would like to find out, read any of the linux bash tutorials first (there are many available online, contact me if you need help finding one).
