- nwh 13y agoOn 10.8, I'm getting the full 500 lines of history. Not sure that the behaviour has ever been different.
- McUsr 13y agoI believe I have set HISTFILESIZE TO 2000 or something, I still need to compact it, and have commands like ls pruned by HISTIGNORE. I use the awkscript below to compact it: # histsort.awk --- compact a shell history file # Thanks to Byron Rakitzis for the general idea { if (data[$0]++ == 0) lines[++count] = $0 } END { for (i = 1; i <= count; i++) print lines[i] }
- hackerpants 13y agoHuh, I didn't know that. What command gives the entire history on OS X, then?
- RBerenguel 13y agoI ran this in Mac OS without a hitch, gave 100. I use zsh, maybe the default shell doesn't?
- RKearney 13y agohistory shows the full .bash_history, but by default HISTFILESIZE is 500 so it only stores 500 entries.
