I think you answered the wrong question. The real answer can be found
in $ man bash
HISTCONTROL
If set to a value of ignorespace, lines which begin with a space
character are not entered on the history list. If set to a
value of ignoredups, lines matching the last history line are
not entered. A value of ignoreboth combines the two options.
