Getting Terminal History Output on Ubuntu

Well, it's not very nice to read, but it works:

Before starting to use the terminal (assuming you use bash , which is the default shell in Ubuntu):

bash | tee bash.output

In the end, you will have a bash.output file in your home with the output, but everything together, without showing where everything came from.

There is another way and I can not stop commenting. In the personal folder there is a file called .bash_history (/home/user/.bash_history). If you open it by nautilus, give ctrl + h to view the hidden files and you will find it. If you want to see directly in the shell, type:

cat /home/username/.bash_history | more

Press enter to display the following.

Output from a terminal:

H1 ) set a long terminal history, and cut & paste the terminal to a file

H2 ) use the command script file (saves the session to file ) - script has several options that can be useful.

Editing in more detail:

H1) the terminal maintains a history accessible by scroll-bar (by default 512 line, configurable in the terminal's profile). If, using the mouse, we select the desired output to make cut & paste within your preferred editor.

H2) the script command was created for questions like the one raised in this question. (see man script ); try
