Ok, so I've got terminal open and running bash. Say I've executed 5 commands. Now they're in the queue and I can scroll through those by using the up and down arrow keys. How can I export that "list" of commands that I've run to a text file. NOT the output of the commands, just the commands themselves. So, if I've run ls, apt-get update, cd /etc, and rm *.txt, for example. If I would export that to a text file, it would look like this:

ls
apt-get update
cd /etc
rm *.txt

I'm running Debian 9 (Stretch) on a 2004 Lenovo Thinkpad x61, with 4GB Ram, and a 1.9 Ghz proc. Using bash shell. Thank you so much for help. I did search for this, but couldn't find exactly what I was looking for.

Thanks for the question. I learned something new because you asked it.

Thanks @frankbell for the quick reply. That's exactly what I was looking for.

I'm happy I could help. You are most welcome.

There is also a file in your users home directory with your command history. Usually ~/.bash_history
