Delete entry from ZSH history
*BSD/Darwin (macOS):
LC_ALL=C sed -i '' '/porn/d' $HISTFILE
Linux (GNU sed):
LC_ALL=C sed -i '/porn/d' $HISTFILE
This will remove all lines matching "porn" from your $HISTFILE.
With setopt HIST_IGNORE_SPACE, you can prepend the above command with a space character to prevent it from being written to $HISTFILE.
