I am working on Ubuntu 9.10. I would like to ask if is there a way to print all the commands typed in Linux? I took a break of a few months on Linux and now I would like to have a list with everything I've tested ,tried starting with the period I've installed Linux (Ubuntu).

You can use the history command. By default, bash only stores the last 500 commands I think.

If you want the full history in a file, it is in ~/.bash_history which has last 500 commands you typed in.

  • @linuxx: It is a file. You can open it with any application you like. Better copy it before you use new commands.
