to make an alias, so it could be run in a single simple command: clearall

if grep -q "alias clearall" ~/.bashrc; then
    sed -i '/alias clearall/d' ~/.bashrc
fi

cat <<EOF >> ~/.bashrc
alias clearall='history -c && history -w && clear && cd ~'
EOF

source ~/.bashrc

clear && echo "Now 'clearall' is a command to clear all bash histories and back to home folder."
