How can I view history in terminal for specific date?
How can I view the terminal history for a specific date?
For example today is 4-apr and I want to view the history of 31-mar
Solution 1:
You can set the history format to include the date using the following:
HISTTIMEFORMAT="%d/%m/%y %T "
Then filter for a specific date using grep:
history | grep "31/03"
More info:
Note From @muru and @Kamil- HISTTIMEFORMAT should already have been set during this period, or bash will just use today's date
Bash Man - HISTTIMEFORMAT
- nixCraft - Bash History - Display Date and Time
