How to get Bash command history statistics, like the most used commands in the last 6 months?

How can I see, for example, what are my most used commands in the last 6 months in bash? Can I store this data somewhere?

You want the lastcomm command. You'll need to install and/or activate the "acct" package - how to do this depends on your operating system.

I'm not sure how far back it will go, but bash's history command will tell you your previous commands. Maybe it can be configured to store up to 6 months of data and then a grep/sed/etc spell can tell you what you want?
