Bang commands in shell
Bang commands are helpful to repeat shell commands recorded in the history. You probably know about the CMD + r
interactive history search. With bang commands you can be faster.
Bang commands I often use are for example:
!ssh
- the most recent ssh command
bundle exec !!
- the most recent command in bundler environment
