My shell had this line every time I opened it:

![Before](https://flaviocopes.com/images/shell-remove-last-login-info/before.png)

Useless information for me.

And I wanted to remove it.

I ran this command to remove the “last login: ….” information:

```jsx
touch ~/.hushlogin
```

Done!

Works in macOS and Linux.
