CPTD HISTORY: control and transparency

June 29, 2025

Within CPTD CLI, the cptd history command allows you to view, analyze, and manage all commands you have executed.

In CPTD CLI, process transparency is as important as automation. You should always know which commands were executed, with what parameters, when, and in what order.
This is essential for auditing, debugging, learning, and maintaining a systematic approach to managing your workflows.

What cptd history offers

✅ Displays a complete log of all executed CPTD CLI commands.
✅ Filters history by keywords for quick search and retrieval.
✅ Exports history to a file for analysis, storage, or reporting.
✅ Allows you to limit the number of stored history lines to manage log size.
✅ Supports clearing the history on demand.
✅ Allows you to view and modify history settings to fit your workflow needs.

Usage

cptd history supports convenient prefixes:

--show — display the entire history.
--grep <text> — filter by keyword or parameter.
--export <path> — save history to the specified file.
--head <N> — show the last N commands.
--clear — clear the history.
--settings — view or adjust history settings.
--line <N> — set the maximum number of stored lines.

Examples:

cptd history --show
cptd history --grep backup
cptd history --export history_log.txt
cptd history --head 20
cptd history --clear
cptd history --settings
cptd history --line 500
