PoshTip #20 – View the PowerShell commands history

PowerShell stores a cache of recent commands executed in the current PowerShell session. If you close the Powershell console, history is cleared. Just run the followig cmdlet:

Get-History

If you type “h” or “history“, you will get the same results:

h
or
history

Use the Get-History cmdlet to see the ExecutionStatus:

h | ft *

You can save history in CSV file:

Get-History | Export-CSV C:\PSHistory.CSV
