...Incoming burst...

A fortune quote:

If you learn one useless thing every day, in a single year you’ll learn 365 useless things.

Anyway, something useful to know about when spending time within a bash shell, is to rewind and replay through commands.

You can navigate back and forth the command line history by using respectively C-p and C-n.

If there is a particular sequence of commands that you want to replay, just go back to the first one with C-p (or C-r for the impatient). Then proceed to replay the sequence by using C-o until you are satisfied.

Rinse and repeat as many times as needed!

In the same spirit, the fc command takes this principle to the next level by helping you shape up bash scripts.
