What it does
Gets a list of the commands entered during the current session. The Get-History cmdlet gets the session history, that is, the list of commands entered during the current session. PowerShell automatically maintains a history of each session. The number of entries in the session history is determined by the value of the $MaximumHistoryCount preference variable. Beginning in Windows PowerShell 3.0, the default value is 4096. By default, history files are saved in the home directory, but you can save the file in any location. For more information about the history features in PowerShell, see about_History. The session history is managed separately from the history maintained by the PSReadLine module. Both histories are available in sessions where PSReadLine is loaded. This cmdlet only works with the session history. For more information see, about_PSReadLine.
