How to extract all command history in one file linux

Question

I know how History command works in linux and also that it only displays the commands typed from terminal from that very directory in which the history command was executed,,Isn't it?My intent is to display all the commands typed(History) by me (as a user per se) .

Thanks in advance .

That is already available in one file i.e. ~/.bash_history by default – Pewee

Everything there is to know about this is in man history. – Tingey

Answer 1

You can use the

history

command, it displays all the history, and is not taking into consideration the 'very directory in which the history command was executed'.

You can output it to a file by using

history >> file.txt
