where is my history of commands?

i use fedora3
all i want to do is find my history of commands
I know it is a text file somewhere like
$HOME/.history
i also had a note to look under
/tmp/orbit_root
but that is obviously something else
i searched "history cli" in these forums and couldn't find the answer

ok, so where is this file that lists my history of commands again?

Thanks.

if youre using bash, it should be ~/.bash_history

also

$ history -c

will clear your .bash_history file.

$ cat .bash_history

will show you them.
