Yes.
Setting HISTFILE is one way to control that. It is not uncommon for
folks to do something like:
HISTFILE=~/.history.${HOSTNAME}
when using a shared file system (e.g., NFS).
In bash, the history built-in takes a filename for most options. So
you can do something like:
history -r ~/.history.project
to load a curated set of helpful commands (though at that point, shell
scripts may start to be more useful)
mrc
