Need to either run `shopt -s histappend` or the `history -a` command to create the .bash_history file.

Unclear if history will persist between pod starts (likely not) but should persist between workspace start/stops if the pod isn't torn down.

Mattia Mascia : Any existing best practices to preserve bash history with devspace workspace container? or should I invite one ? 🙂

Mario Loriedo : We use a trick for web terminal when the windows is closed / reopened but nothing that is persisted across restart of the pod

Mattia Mascia : Ok, so I was thinking to mount a persistent storage under /home/user/.profile and add the env HISTFILE—/home/user/.profile/.bash_history
and I noticed yesterday quickly that the histappend is disabled, so I probably need to enable it on the container. I believe the shopt -s histappend should be run or the history -a command to create the .bash_history file.
