This comes from Carmen Heger and Sasa Hasan, by way of Aachen, where Arne Mauser was the apparent originator. Please feel free to share this but cite them (not me, unless you want to cite this specific note). If you want to skip to the instructions they're at the bottom.

The idea is a .history file is created in every directory you work in with the list of all the commands you typed (except for a few that match a list of boring stuff like ls). 

This is if you want to save yourself the trouble of cut-and-pasting into a README in each directory. I still do that, actually, but this functions as a readme of last resort. It's also great for seeing what steps others have done if you're trying to debug their inability to reproduce your results.

example:

brew install qpdf

# first decrypt
find . -name '*.pdf' | xargs basename | xargs -L1 -I {} qpdf --decrypt --password=PASSWORD {} dec{}

# then merge
qpdf --empty --pages dec*.pdf -- all.pdf
