Never bothered to fully automate it, tbh. I use `unset HISTFILE` to make sure when I exit the history file doesn't get all the cruft in. Every now and then I might do some housecleaning, including going through the history file then `cp ~/.bash_history{,.2}` to keep a clean copy around. As far as saving, heres a handy function: `getlast() { fc -ln "$1" "$1" | sed '1s/^[[:space:]]*//' }`
