Get-History

Short description
Gets a list of the commands entered during the current session.

Syntax


Description
The Get-History cmdlet gets the session history, that is, the list of commands entered during the current session.


Windows PowerShell automatically maintains a history of each session. The number of entries in the session history is d
etermined by the value of the $MaximumHistoryCount preference variable. Beginning in Windows PowerShell 3.0, the defaul
t value is 4096.


You can save the session history in XML or CSV format. By default, history files are saved in the home directory, but y
ou can save the file in any location.


For more information about the history features in Windows PowerShell, see about_History (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlin
