The history of executed commands is stored in your shell. Try adding something like you ~/.bashrc

 export HISTTIMEFORMAT="%m/%d - %H:%M:%S: "

It will change the HISTTIMEFORMAT variable, and bash will save the timestamp in its history accordingly. Then your story will look like this.

 487 08/16 - 16:12:01: cd Downloads 488 08/16 - 16:12:04: ls -a 489 08/16 - 16:12:37: cat README | less 490 08/16 - 16:12:58: pkg-config --list-all | grep webkit 491 08/16 - 16:13:04: history
