Please kindly help me add date time on history command.

1. Add this to your .bash_profile file

export HISTTIMEFORMAT="%d/%m/%y %T

2. Open a terminal and type

. .bash_profile

note the dot preceding the .bash_profile line and be sure to use it and hit Enter.

3. Try the history command again and see if it worked.

Hope this helps!

I use this, both for user ($) and root (#)

$ / # echo 'export HISTTIMEFORMAT="%F_H-%M-%S "' >> ~/.bashrc
$ / # source ~/.bash_profile

The 2nd command may be replaced by just close and open Terminal again.
