Where is the default zsh history file?

HISTFILE isn't set in my .zshrc file.

To which file is zsh history saved by default?

Or, is the history just being stored in memory?

For me it was ~/.zsh_history

You can also check with echo $HISTFILE

Zsh has no built-in default value for HISTFILE. The zsh distribution comes with a setup wizard for new users which has the value ~/.zsh_history built in...
