ZSH alias for grep'ing the history command easily

gistfile1.txt

# in your .zshrc add:
alias HG='history | grep '
 
# reload ZSH (using my default location as an example)
. ~/.zshrc 
 
# Now run: ``HG something_of_interest`` and your history is grepped for said interesting something.

very helpful

This only greps the very last entries though? (history 0 fixes this)

I figured this out after someone showed me cat ~/.bash_history | grep Until now, I haven't been a big grep user... I spend way too much time in Windoze.

Thanks. I was trying like history | grep "$1". But your method is simpler
