recovering the lost old history commands in terminal

Asked by boka

I used to run my model on terminal sometimes I don't need to type the command rather I use the old once.

But now I lost my old command or command history can I recovery it back.

if you run:

less ~/.nano_history

Do you see the old commands?

Sounds like the file was deleted, which removes the history.

what happens when you try to search through the history by pressing Ctrl+r .

Can you help with this problem?
