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

    -Ctrl + r to search previous commands

    Or

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

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