It would be great to access all my commands run in terminal on OSX so I can review and use as a running reminder sheet.

I'm using Reverse-I-Search prompt and have updated my .bash_profile to store all of my history as mentioned here.

Any ideas how I could access as to output the terminal command history in OSX?

I presume you've read man bash, so you should know that the history is stored in the file ~/.bash_history. What else do you need to know, can you clarify? – nobody Jul 10 '11 at 21:46
Yes, because I new the 'man' command existed then read the manual found the answer and decided to ask the question above just for the fun of it. Thanks fideli for quick, clear and unpretentious answer. – Cameron McGrane Jul 11 '11 at 1:15

All of your history is stored in ~/.bash_history, where both reverse-i-search and the up/down keys use. That file is regularly pruned, but if you followed the guide in your link, the .bash_history file will practically never be pruned.
