After a time ypu look into extending the history too… 500line by default is far too short for all the awesome commands
The command you want is in the buffered history of a still running terminal that’s doing something you don’t want to close 💀
If you haven’t, try McFly - is a much better backwards / history search in the shell.
It’s either this or
history | grep 'some-command'.Ctrl-r was right there.
If you’re in this picture try using fzf and backwards search, much more effective, hell even without fzf.
CTRL+R
Or if you are not sure what it was at all: history
Introducing:
fishAnd then you just need to remember the first letters of the previously typed command
Yup, I started using fish a while back and autocomplete is what kept me on it. The best part is that it’s contextual based on the folder you’re in.
Look up
history-search-backwardin your favorite bash/readline manual.

Me with git pushes: up up up, enter x3. Like 6 times a day.
ctrl+r is your friend :)
Not me using Linux for 15 years and just learning you can search through previous commands…
I hope I’m not blowing your mind when I tell you that you can grep .bash_history?
Easy there wizard. In my defense I don’t hang out in a terminal all that much anymore.
lshistory!982Some of you haven’t read the bash manual and it shows.
Blow your mind to know about bang patterns. You’ve used !! but do you know about !$?
Don’t call me out like that lol. Also Atuin is pretty cool for this as you are showed a list of the commands used when you press ⬆️.
You forgot a couple down arrows for when you overshoot.
