Or, just type the command “history”, find the index number of the desired command, then type “! ”, then .
That's way more mental effort than pressing up a bunch of times.
or Ctrl+R then search? I don't know why some people still bother with
historytbh.Because you can pipe history to grep.
This is going to save me so much time pressing the up arrow.
Holy cow!! I didn’t know that. I have been using history > history.txt to find “that one command for that one thing” I only need once every other month or so. Thanks, now I can just do that.
Ctrl-R if you know part of the command.
