Generally if you put a space before your command it'll bypass the history, though depending on your *nix you might need to set `HISTCONTROL=ignoreboth` in your bashrc or similar if it's not already.

Agree that it would be nice to specify credentials a different way - however as a workaround: some bash-based shells support prefixing the command with a space as a way of not saving that command into history.

`psql` allows for putting your credentials in a dotfile with a very simple syntax. Should be quick to add support for, and would create a seamless onboarding experience for people who are already using `psql`.

that makes sense, thank you for opening an issue!
