I am using 'iterm' as my terminal at macosx. But I don't see all my command I type when I do 'history' and I don't see my previous command (copy and paste) using the UP arrow key?
Is there a way to fix it?

Check you home dir in iTerm.
$ cd ~
$ ls -la | grep .bash_history
If it found it do a
$ cat .bash_history
This will show your history. Not in the exact same format as 'history' but it will do I think. Or you can search within your history with the shortcut CTRL + r. It will show something as (reverse-i-search). Type your command you did earlier and it will return a result.

2Bear in mind that if you use a bash alternative, you'll need to use it's history equivalent e.g. with ZSH, replace .bash_history with .zsh_history. – saywhatnow – 2018-08-19T23:49:17.573
