Ever since upgrading to Ruby 3.1.2, I am now getting a prompt in the rails console that allows for auto completion. While this is nice, it also slows down my typing and heavily interferes with me backspacing, etc. As a result, I have created a file named .irbrc and added the following content:

IRB.conf[:USE_AUTOCOMPLETE] = false

The only issue that I noticed is now I have a file called .irb_history. I've looked up some information about the history, but all I can do is find information about specifying the number of lines I want to have saved; not disable it.

How can I disable the creation and/or storing of my Ruby/Rails commands from being stored in it?

You can turn off saving history with option below:

# .irbrc
IRB.conf[:SAVE_HISTORY] = false

And you can also change location for the history file with the option:

# .irbrc
IRB.conf[HISTORY_FILE] = "/PATH_TO_YOUR_FOLDER/.irb-history"
