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.
Where is the history file stored in Linux?
The history is stored in the ~/. bash_history file by default. You could also run ‘cat ~/. bash_history’ which is similar but does not include the line numbers or formatting.
How do I view history in terminal?
To view your entire Terminal history, type the word “history” into the Terminal window, and then press the ‘Enter’ key. The Terminal will now update to display all the commands it has on record.
