=== Session Specific TimeStamps ===
You can set this by running the following command:
HISTTIMEFORMAT=format
For example, the following will set your current session in the specified format:
HISTTIMEFORMAT="%y/%m/%d %T
Running history will now show you time stamps and date stamps:
# history | tail -3
1055 17/09/16 09:46:23 echo 'export HISTTIMEFORMAT="%d/%m/%y %T "' >> ~/.bash_profile ; source ~/.bash_profile
1056 17/09/16 09:46:27 HISTTIMEFORMAT="%d/%m/%y"
1057 17/09/16 09:46:30 history | tail -3

=== Permanent Time Stamp ===
If you wish to set the time stamp permanently then you can run the following command for the user you are logged in as:
echo 'export HISTTIMEFORMAT="%d/%m/%y %T "' >> ~/.bash_profile ; source ~/.bash_profile
