I feel like someone would have asked this question before, however, I cannot find anything and it may be because it's too obvious and I'm looking in the wrong file or I'm not searching a good key term to find out.

I want to view some of my old output in the terminal (OSX) and I assumed that was stored in my .zsh_history and all I'm seeing is all my input without the outputs.

Is there a way I can go back and view this?

Is there a way I can save it for future use if not?

This is not zsh specific, It applies to most of the shells

If you executed the commands with output redirection, like

someCommand > someFile.txt

or appended command output like this,

someCommand >> someFile.txt

They will be stored to the specific file. Else you would have to run each command again

This may solve your issue
