Basic windows history and bang commands (assuming Git installed)

!.bat

@echo off
rem simple replacement for linux ! syntax e.g. !591
rem usage: ! N (executes line N of history.log)
rem @link http://ianchanning.wordpress.com/2014/10/29/dos-command-history/

if "%1"=="" goto Syntax
if "%1"=="/?" goto Syntax

for /f "tokens=*" %%x in ('sed -n "%1{p;q}" %USERPROFILE%\history.log') do echo %%x & cmd /c %%x
goto End

:Syntax
echo usage: ! N

:End

history.bat

@echo off
rem replacement for linux `history` command
rem usage: history
rem @link http://ianchanning.wordpress.com/2014/10/29/dos-command-history/

set history_file=%USERPROFILE%\history.log

rem For if you are using Martin Ridgers 'clink'
rem @link http://mridgers.github.io/clink/
rem set history_file=%localappdata%\clink\.history

rem this doesn't require GNU Tools, but doesn't have line numbers
rem type history_file

rem requires GNU Tools installation (e.g. Git SCM)
cat -n %history_file%

This is assuming that you've read my DOS command history post on outputting the DOS commands to %USERPROFILE%

I recommend putting these files in the Git bin folder e.g. C:\Program Files\Git\bin
