Holy Crap. I have gotten into the arrow up mode. Then I went to History.
But, but, but ctrl + r. Holy crap.
Thank you kind sir or madam.
If you enjoy that, then let me introduce you you fzf - a fuzzy finder that has support for replacing ctrl + r in shells with fuzzy matching. Among other uses.

Thank you very much.
You can also install https://github.com/dvorka/hstr to supercharge your ctrl+r
This is it, my first saved comment on lemmy
Fish gang arise (no need for ctrl+r, just press up)
Is there a MacOS versiΓ³n of this? Asking for a friend.
It's the same, ctrl + r. It is a bash/shell thing so works on any os that uses bash or similar shells. Note, it is not the command key, but ctrl, unlike a lot of other shortcuts on macos.
Ctrl R > start typing
You're welcome to have your life changed
What the actual.... Thanks
Bro, do you even ^R ?
Or
history | grep {command}
i have a alias for h which is history, then hg which does this and i can search my whole 52 thousand line history file and find anything i've ran
Finally the ls command!
Up up up up up up up up up oh wait down
you allllways overshoot
Based
Me when configuring a switch.
Since this post triggered hidden gems: ^old^new will substitute old with new from the last command and execute.
~/.bash_history is where my documentation lives
yeah, the other day i was supposed to remove a restriction from a router that was some custom thing built on a raspberry pi. i logged in, started messing around, trying to figure out the system, and of course i looked at bash_history because why not, i'm unfamiliar with the setup so it seemed like a good place to start. up until i found some commands editing it. so i'm like
$ export HISTFILE=/dev/null # alright, two can play this game
it ended up being a simply cron job that runs a script that starts and stops hostapd every once in a while. i didn't disable the cron job, i just commented out a critical line from the stop script. happy debugging to the sysadmin, lol
cat /var/www/vhosts.d/l[tab]o[tab]l[tab]a[tab]...

history | grep term
Easier to type history then !xx where xx is the number of record in history.
$ ls -la
ls -hal
ls -halal
Y'all know about ctrl-r to search history, right? I went for so many years without even thinking to look for something better than up-arrow, so I have to mention it.
Wait until they learn that you can ctrl+u when you mistyped your password in sudo instead of spamming backspace...
I usually do ctrl+r but with zsh I can type the beginning of the command and press up and it will search that way too.
fish automatically searches as you type, just start typing and press -> when you find the command you need.
Zsh does the same, though I think you need oh my zsh and a plugin for it.
cat .bash_history | grep keyword
But yeah pretty much.
I try to avoid the terminal as much as I humanly can because of ergonomic issues like this.
y... you do realise this is a meme, right? If you want to find a specific command that you ran in the past, you can just hit ctrl-r and search for it? No-one is actually spamming the up key, it's a joke.
Woah. Quality of meme in this site amazes me.
It's more or less like on reddit, but less users.
