# Search History
|
|
|
|
Often times there is a very specific command you have entered into your bash
|
|
prompt that you need to run again. You don't want to have to type it again
|
|
and stepping manually through your history may be suboptimal if you typed it
|
|
quite a while ago. Fortunately, there is a simple history search feature
|
|
that you can use in this kind of situation.
|
|
|
|
Hit `Ctrl+r` and then start typing a moderately specific search term. Your
|
|
search history will be filtered by that term. Subsequent hitting of
|
|
`Ctrl+r` will step forward through that filtered history. Once you find the
|
|
command you are looking for, hit enter to execute it.
