Question

The general idea is pretty simple, I want to make a script for a certain task, I do it in the shell (any shell), and then I want to copy the commands I have used.

If I copy all the stuff in the window, then I have a lot of stuff to delete and to correct. (and is not easy to copy from shell)

Resume: I want to take all the things I wrote…

Is there an easy way to do this easy task?

Update: Partial solution

In bash, the solution is pretty simple, there is a history command, and there are ports of the idea:

IRB: Tweaking IRB

Cmd: Use PowerShell -> Get-History (or use cygwin)

---

Another Update:
I found that doskey have a parameter history to do this:
cmd: Doskey /history >> history.cmd

Answer 1

Yes, you can use:

history -w filename.sh

This will save your command history to filename.sh. You may need to edit that to keep just the lines at the end that are part of your command sequence.

NOTE: This is a bash command and will not work with all shells.
