What is the shortcut to search my command history in macOS terminal?
For how long is the history available for searching? Where is it stored?
How about using Ctrl+
R for searching on the Terminal
Utility in Mac
for searching on the command history,
dudeOnMac: freddy$ whoami
freddy
(reverse-i-search)`who': whoami
Well for controlling how long the history
would be retained that depends on a few shell
environment variables, HISTFILESIZE
which is nothing but number of lines of history you want to retain. Set a huge value for it in .bash_profile
for it to take effect
HISTFILESIZE=10000000
