Zsh shell history getting cleared automatically while using gnome-terminal(.zhistory)

Support GNOME

I just checked again found and found ~/.zhistory. So it’s obvious that it was my mistake, not yours.

Double check that the $HISTFILE environment variable exists and is correct.

echo $HISTFILE

Then check if the file exists and it’s permissions are correct:

$ stat $(echo $HISTFILE)

Edit:
I just found this page regarding zsh history. According to that:

History accepts a range in zsh entries as [first] [last] arguments, so to get them all run history 0 .

To get the zsh help (at least with mind) type Alt-h over the history command and this will bring up the help for built-ins.
