How do I view file history in Linux?

In Linux, there is a very useful command to show you all of the last commands that have been recently used. The command is simply called history, but can also be accessed by looking at your . bash_history in your home folder. By default, the history command will show you the last five hundred commands you have entered.

How do I find the history file?

To visit the File History window, follow these directions:

  1. Tap the Windows key.
  2. Type File History.
  3. Choose the item Restore Your Files with File History. It probably won’t be the top item in the search results.
