From ab300ee233bd3c86c1938aa19ebb11486f9cd195 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrew Athan <24279435+aathan@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Sat, 12 Oct 2024 20:34:48 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Update comments about what running hash -r does The old comment said "hash -r" forgets "past commands." However, the documentation for "hash" states that it forgets past locations. The old comment was, in my opinion, confusing. This is because it could be interpreted to mean it does something to the command history (HISTORY/HISTFILE etc) vs the cache of locations. --- Lib/venv/scripts/common/activate | 5 +++-- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/Lib/venv/scripts/common/activate b/Lib/venv/scripts/common/activate index cbd4873f012246..4593799b7e9b0e 100644 --- a/Lib/venv/scripts/common/activate +++ b/Lib/venv/scripts/common/activate @@ -14,8 +14,9 @@ deactivate () { unset _OLD_VIRTUAL_PYTHONHOME fi - # Call hash to forget past commands.
