Have you been using GitHub Copilot CLI and wondered — “What was that prompt I used 2 days ago?”

Did you know your prompt history is stored locally on your machine, and you can look it up anytime!

Where is the history stored?

Look for a file called command-history-state.json inside the .copilot folder in your home directory.

What’s inside?

Open the file and you’ll see a commandHistory array — a list of every prompt you’ve typed into Copilot CLI.

Hope this was helpful! 🙂
