I was wondering: If I type history I can see the previous commands I typed and see what happened and perhaps keep commands as reference. But I don't know in which directory I was when I typed the commands.

Is there a version of history that displays also the directory you were in when you typed the command?

  • @Jim It's a separate program. Most distributions offer it as a package. Zsh is less common, often not part of the default installation, but has more features.
