Add-History

Add entries to the end of the session history (the commands entered during the current session).

Syntax
      Add-History [[-inputObject] <PSObject[]>] [-passthru] [<CommonParameters>]

key
    -inputObject PSObject[]
        Adds the specified HistoryInfo objects to the session history. You can 
        use this parameter to submit a HistoryInfo object from Get-History, Imp
        ort-Clixml, or Import-Csv to Add-History.

    -passthru SwitchParameter
        Passes the object created by this cmdlet through the pipeline. 
        By default, this cmdlet does not pass any objects through the pipeline.

    CommonParameters
        This cmdlet supports the common parameters: -Verbose, -Debug,
        -ErrorAction, -ErrorVariable, and -OutVariable. For more information,
        type, "get-help about_commonparameters".

Examples

Export session history to a file :

C:\PS>get-history | export-csv E:\SessionHist.csv

Import session history from a file (this could be a different session on a different machine):

C:\PS>import-csv SessionHist.csv | add-history

You can also pipe commands directly from get-history to add-history which will re-arrange the order of items in the command line history. Piping history command (either from file or from get-history) to invoke-history will actullly run the commands.
