# History
Sets [history][1] options and defines history aliases.
**Note:** Default path of `HISTFILE` has changed from
_`${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}/.zhistory`_ to _`${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}/.zsh_history`_. The file
will be automatically renamed if possible (when the new one doesn't exist).
Otherwise, if you want to preserve previous history, you will need to move them
from _`${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}/.zhistory`_ to _`${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}/.zsh_history`_.
Alternately, you can set `HISTFILE` manually to _`${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}/.zhistory`_.
## Options
- `BANG_HIST` treats the **!** character specially during expansion.
- `EXTENDED_HISTORY` writes the history file in the _:start:elapsed;command_
format.
- `SHARE_HISTORY` shares history between all sessions. Note that
`SHARE_HISTORY`, `INC_APPEND_HISTORY`, and `INC_APPEND_HISTORY_TIME` are
mutually exclusive.
- `HIST_EXPIRE_DUPS_FIRST` expires a duplicate event first when trimming history.
- `HIST_IGNORE_DUPS` does not record an event that was just recorded again.
- `HIST_IGNORE_ALL_DUPS` deletes an old recorded event if a new event is a
duplicate.
- `HIST_FIND_NO_DUPS` does not display a previously found event.
- `HIST_IGNORE_SPACE` does not record an event starting with a space.
- `HIST_SAVE_NO_DUPS` does not write a duplicate event to the history file.
- `HIST_VERIFY` does not execute immediately upon history expansion.
- `HIST_BEEP` beeps when accessing non-existent history.
## Variables
- `HISTFILE` stores the path to the history file.
- `HISTSIZE` stores the maximum number of events to save in the internal history.
- `SAVEHIST` stores the maximum number of events to save in the history file.
## Aliases
- `history-stat` lists the ten most used commands
