How can I search the command history in cygwin?

I don\'t want to keep pressing the arrow keys to execute a command from console command history.

    I think one of the easiest way is to pipeline it with less and press search character ("/") and then type the command you wanna find.

    history | less
    

    and then

    /text to find
    

    to find the desired command

    Another way

    is to append the stdout form history command to a file: history > /cygdrive/path/file.txt

    and then search in the document.

    The history command is the way to go. I use

    h ()
    {
        history | cut -f 2- | sort -u | grep -P --color=auto -e "$*"
    }
    

    so that I can type something like h git.*MyProgram, h ^tar -c, h svn:ignore, etc to pull up a sorted list of past commands matching a regex.

    You might also want to add the following lines to ~/.inputrc:

    # Ctrl+Up/Down for searching command history
    "\e[1;5A": history-search-backward
    "\e[1;5B": history-search-forward
    

    With these in place, you can type a partial command prefix (such as gi or sql) then use Ctrl+Up to scroll back through the list of just your command history entries that match that prefix (such as git clone https://code.google.com/p/double-conversion/ and sqlite3 .svn/wc.db .tables). This can be a lot faster than searching and then cutting and pasting if you want to edit or re-execute a command that was fairly recent.

    If you are using the default editing mode, do ctrl+R to search back through your history.

    If you have done set -o vi to use vi editing mode, then it is esc-/

    Do

    vi ~/.inputrc
    

    Add

    For arrow up/down bindings:

    "\e[A": history-search-backward
    "\e[B": history-search-forward
    

    Or for page up/down bindings:

    "\e[5~": history-search-backward
    "\e[6~": history-search-forward
    

    Close and open cygwin.

    Voila.

    I use the history command in combination with grep, e.g. history | grep vi shows all commands where vi was used.

    Checkout the "Gnu Bash Manual" (man bash) for the command "fc". E.g.fc -l -80 would list the last 80 commands, while other options let you search with RegEx...
