This version is still in development and is not considered stable yet. For the latest stable version, please use Spring Shell 3.3.1!

History

The history command shows the history of commands that has been executed.

There are a few configuration options that you can use to configure behavior of a history. History is kept in a log file, which is enabled by default and can be turned off by setting spring.shell.history.enabled. The name of a log file is resolved from spring.application.name and defaults to spring-shell.log, which you can change by setting spring.shell.history.name.

By default, a log file is generated to a current working directory, which you can dictate by setting spring.shell.config.location. This property can contain a placeholder ({userconfig}), which resolves to a common shared config directory.

Run the Spring Shell application to see how the sample application works as it uses these options.
