NAME
       dnf5-history - History Command

SYNOPSIS
       dnf5 history <subcommand> [options] [<transaction-spec>]

DESCRIPTION
       The history command in DNF5 allows the user to view what has happened
       in past transactions and offers several operations on these
       transactions, like undoing and redoing them. In order to use the
       transactions in these commands, it is assumed that they were committed
       while using the history_record configuration option.

       For more information about <transaction-spec> see dnf5-specs(7),
       Patterns specification.

SUBCOMMANDS

       list
              List info about recorded transactions in the system.
              If no <transaction-spec> is specified it uses all transactions.


       info
              Print details about specific transactions.
              If no <transaction-spec> is specified it uses the last transaction.


       undo
              Revert all actions from the specified transaction.
              Exactly one transaction must be specified by <transaction-spec>.


       redo
              Repeat the specified transaction.
              Automatically uses --ignore-extras and --ignore-installed.
              Unlike the rest of history commands it overrides reasons for transaction packages that are already installed.
              This command is useful to finish interrupted transactons.
              Exactly one transaction must be specified by <transaction-spec>.


       rollback
              Undo all transactions performed after the specified transaction.
              Exactly one transaction must be specified by <transaction-spec>.


       store
              Store the transaction into a directory.
              If no <transaction-spec> is specified it uses the last transaction.


OPTIONS FOR LIST AND INFO

       --reverse
              Reverse the order of transactions in the output.


       --contains-pkgs=PACKAGE_NAME,...
              Show only transactions containing packages with specified names.
              This is a list option. Globs are supported.


OPTIONS FOR UNDO, ROLLBACK AND REDO

       --skip-unavailable
              Allow skipping packages actions that are not possible perform.


OPTIONS FOR UNDO AND ROLLBACK

       --ignore-extras
              Don't consider extra packages pulled into the transaction as errors.
              They will still be reported as warnings.


       --ignore-installed
              Don't consider mismatches between installed and stored transaction packages as errors.
              They will still be reported as warnings.
              Using this option can result in an empty transaction.
              For install actions skip already installed packages.
              For upgrade actions skip groups or environments that are not installed.
              For remove actions skip not installed packages/groups/environments.
