Up up and away we go

I do that sometimes, lazy as I can be

That’s when I realise I need more coffee.

Sorry, do you not keep sql scratch files around?

If deving on the cli name and save to separate files your reusable queries…

I definitely do this with terminal commands, because I’m not hunting for whatever the specific command line to animate my gif wallpaper is.

been there, done that.

then i heard about cli snippet manager. now i use qownnotes snippet manager qc. or you might try pet.

did you know about the ctrl+r command so you can search logged commands by keyword!

magic lobster party told me about it and it’s amazing!

I had no idea that was a function until now.

Ctrl + R is a life changer.

HOLY SHIT.

hahahaha, thank you. oh my gosh.

This is the most significant terminal hotkey I’ve learned in months.

Upvoted for the dancing and singing emoticon. Nice art.

I really like this comic. Just in case someone didn’t know in Linux you can:

-Ctrl + r to search previous commands

-type history and precede the command number by an exclamation (!) to repeat the command (I.e. “!13”)

Or just !! for the last command. Particularly helpful if you forgot to prefix it with sudo you can run sudo !!

Learn something new everyday

What. Da fuck. This always existed?!

It’s probably from within the last 30 years or so

Also if you put “sensitive” information in your history by mistake you can use “history -d <line#>” to remove it.

Unfortunately I had to use this command too many times.

Fish shell does this automatically. It’s one of the reasons I love it. You can auto-complete based on your command history.

I’m personlly a zsh+oh-my-zsh person which has the same type of auto complete option.

My only regret is that something broke the thefuck plugin on my pc and now swearing at my screen doesn’t fix my mistakes.

I highly recommend installing fzf, and its shell integration. Makes your Ctrl + r magnitudes more pleasant to use!

Or control R, start typing a bit, control r again.

This works in Powershell as well, even on Windows…

Ctrl + r to search previous commands

That’s a readline thing by the way, so it doesn’t just work in bash but also works with other cli applications that are compiled with readline support, for example virsh, psql, fdisk, …
