PowerHistory adds additional features to PowerShell's history.
It adds useful information about any history item, and allows you to add extra properties to any history item. ### Installing PowerHistory You can clone the PowerHistory repository or Install PowerHistory from the PowerShell Gallery: ~~~ Install-Module PowerHistory -Scope CurrentUser ~~~ ### Using PowerHistory You can use PowerHistory just like Get-History: ~~~ Get-PowerHistory # Gets all history items ~~~ You can also do some more nifty tricks, like find items in history that use a module, command, or variable: ~~~ Get-PowerHistory -Module PowerHistory # Gets previous uses of commands from PowerHistory Get-PowerHistory -Command Get-PowerHistory # Gets previous runs of Get-PowerHistory Get-PowerHistory -Variable MyVariable # Gets previous uses of $MyVariable ~~~ ### Tracing to the history You can store command output in a PowerHistory entry with any given -Name (defaulting to Output), and add additional -Properties or -Tags ~~~ Get-Process | Trace-PowerHistory -Name ActiveProcesses -Property @{TimeStamp=[DateTime]::Now} -Tag Processes ~~~ |
