Re: how can I find the terminal output

Hi,

I meant without any option, (just "guix shell") therefore it created an 
empty environment.
(I didn't know what the guix shell is for. I just read the manual and 
understood the purpose of guix shell).

Because I don't know how it works, I guessed that the "empty 
environment" is a new created file which has been added and I wanted to 
get rid of this file.

I am using the Bash terminal, Mate terminal in my case.

Opening the  ~/.bash_history
tells me only my inputs, my commands, but it does not show what was the 
output of my commands. Where I can find those in my Bash shell?

hope that makes my questions as a newcommer clear
