I am trying out zsh, but it's pretty terrible so far, as I don't have history at all (well, 1 single line). What in my bash setup is causing this - assuming that some variables are shared? Alternatively, what do I have to do?
$ cd dotfiles;ag HIST
common-setup/bashrc
113:export HISTFILESIZE=
114:export HISTSIZE=
115:export HISTTIMEFORMAT="[%F %T] "
118:export HISTFILE=~/.bash_eternal_history
125:export HISTCONTROL=ignoredups
My entire zsh config, from my dotfiles:
# Keybindings, like the readline bindings
bindkey \^U backward-kill-line
bindkey \^K kill-line
# Zsh plugin manager (handles oh-my-zsh, etc)
# https://github.com/zplug/zplug
if [ -e ~/.zplug/init.zsh ]; then
source ~/.zplug/init.zsh
fi

# Then, source plugins and add commands to $PATH
zplug load --verbose
edit: Could it be the shared history file? I have tried setting HISTFILE=~/.zsh-history in the start of .zshrc with no apparent effect.
Also tried adding:
export HISTFILE=~/.zsh_history
export HISTSIZE=100000 # can't be unset, like in bash
# Appends every command to the history file once it is executed
setopt inc_append_history
# Reloads the history whenever you use it
setopt share_history
Still, every time I execute zsh from a bash session, the history is empty.
