I have a variety of dev machines at work and the history can't be counted on. Yea, reproducible data analysis is good, but some tasks are just really simple and aren't worth it. Most of my terminal stuff is just running processes and grep/awk. Any major data analysis is probably in a SQL query which I do save on our wiki page.
I really like the concept of Wolfram Mathematica Notebooks as you can essentially embed everything into a reproducible analysis (what they call a computational essay). The free and open source equivalent is Jupyter notebooks.
