Copy the lines with 'cd /home/' in .bash_history to a separate file:
$ grep 'cd /home/' .bash_history > separate-file
Delete the lines with 'cd /home/' from .bash_history (the forward
slashes in the path need to be escaped):
$ sed -i -e '/cd \/home\//d' .bash_history
Note that the '>' overwrites the contents on any existing 'separate-
file'. A new 'separate-file' is created if it doesn't exist yet. If
you want to append instead of overwrite, use >> instead.
