Description

One big problem I have is that i will add something, and then forget the hash. I need a way to go and look up things that i've already added. This also has the added bonus of being able to go through and see which pins you want to remove when cleaning up your disk.

Research direction
The issue requests a persistent log of hashes produced by 'ipfs add'. Explore the CLI command structure in the repo, likely in core/commands/ or similar. Look at how 'ipfs add' currently works (e.g., in core/commands/add.go) and consider storing the hash and timestamp in a local log file. Discuss with maintainers about the preferred format (e.g., JSON lines) and location (e.g., IPFS config directory). No linked PRs or assignees, but comments indicate interest.
