Linux Command History with date and time

It depends on the shell (and its configuration) in standard bash only the command is stored without the date and time (check .bash_history if there is any timestamp there).

To have bash store the timestamp you need to set HISTTIMEFORMAT before executing the commands, e.g. in .bashrc or .bash_profile. This will cause bash to store the timestamps in .bash_history (see the entries starting with #).

Regarding this link you can make the first solution provided by krzyk permanent by executing:

echo 'export HISTTIMEFORMAT="%d/%m/%y %T "' >> ~/.bash_profile
source ~/.bash_profile

Try this:

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

> history

You can adjust the format to your liking, of course.

In case you are using zsh you can use for example the -E or -i switch:

history -E

If you do a man zshoptions or man zshbuiltins you can find out more information about these switches as well as other info related to history:

Also when listing,
 -d     prints timestamps for each event
 -f     prints full time-date stamps in the US `MM/DD/YY hh:mm' format
 -E     prints full time-date stamps in the European `dd.mm.yyyy hh:mm' format
 -i     prints full time-date stamps in ISO8601 `yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm' format
 -t fmt prints time and date stamps in the given format; fmt is formatted with the strftime function with the zsh extensions  described  for  the  %D{string} prompt format in the section EXPANSION OF PROMPT SEQUENCES in zshmisc(1).  The resulting formatted string must be no more than 256 characters or will not be printed
 -D     prints elapsed times; may be combined with one of the options above
