       | shellclear is a security tool that provides a simple and fast way
       | to secure your shell command history. Sensitive data can be
       | stored in your history file when exporting a token of something
       | or running a script with a token. Sometimes those secrets can be
       | visible to others when sharing your terminal / autocomplete
       | command and more.

       | sensitive data found in the history shells * Clear the sensitive

         | 
         | export MY_PASSWORD
         |
