How to increase history in oh-my-zsh?

Question

I just installed oh-my-zsh for the first time. I just want to know how can I modify the number of past commands that are remembered in history? Where can I set this setting?

Solution

You can set the size of the history file zsh uses with the SAVEHIST variable. just put a line in your .zshrc (found in your home directory) like SAVEHIST=n to save up to n commands in your history (replacing n with a number of course).

By default, I think that both zsh and oh-my-zsh aleady has a line in your .zshrc that assignes SAVEHIST, so just change the number to one of your liking.
