Emacs Init: Save Command History

Many emacs commands lets you use ↑ key to use last command or parameter. But after you restart emacs, command history is gone.

You can make emacs remember command history.

Put this in your Emacs Init File:

;; save minibuffer history
(savehist-mode 1)

Command history is saved as a file, by default at ~/.emacs.d/history
