Each time you close a window, its shell (say, bash) appends its
command history list¹ to ~/.bash_history and the new version of this
file will be read by any fresh invocation of bash.

So each instance of a shell will have its own command history list,
consisting of the commands you typed into it, and the contents of
~/.bash_history when it started running.

As for cherry picking, one can control what gets remembered in the
history list (with bash's HIST* variables), but it's not a random
selection as seems to have been implied.

BTW each user has their own history files. Exposing them to other
users would be a security breach, despite the fact that most of the
information contained therein might have been observable at some time
or other with the ps command.

¹ just the commands issued in this session, not including those read
from  ~/.bash_history when bash started.

Cheers,
David.
