Enable history in IEX through #erlang (OTP 20) ⏳
If you are using the latest version of Erlang, OTP 20 now ships with shell history, so you can use Ctrl-p
/ Ctrl-n
or the up/down arrow keys.
The shell history is turned off by default though, so you will have to turn it on by adding the following to your .zshrc
/.bashrc
etc.
export ERL_AFLAGS="-kernel shell_history enabled"
Once you do that make sure to source
your bash config file or open a new window.
Every subsequent iex session will now have shell history. 🚀
