You know you're a developer if you cycle back through your bash history for a full 30 seconds to save typing a command again.
. @iamdevloper this, until you find about Ctrl-r, that let you search through your history. Then you are a senior developer @argumatronic
@iamdevloper @RAED667 history | grep whatchacallit... :)
Real developers don't use Ctrl+R for reverse history search? @iamdevloper
@iamdevloper you might enjoy junegunn's excellent history fuzzy-finder github.com/junegunn/fzf
@iamdevloper grep the shit out of the history to get that sassy command
@iamdevloper set -o vi. Puts the terminal in vim mode. Makes it search back faster, and then you get to tell everyone about how you use vim
@iamdevloper particularly when that command is ls -lah
@iamdevloper Ctrl-r type some guess at the command... c'mon dawg.
@iamdevloper You know you're a developer if you just use reverse search for that …
@iamdevloper @Aimee_Knight this is DRY taken too far.
@iamdevloper as others have said, C-r, also useful: $ history | grep whatevz
@iamdevloper better than ordinary dev uses github.com/dvorka/hstr
@iamdevloper we go that far to avoid the same mistakes again
@iamdevloper @carolynvs it's a good thing we don't have a problem with over-literal software engineers in this industry
@iamdevloper Yep... Have "h" aliased to history, and "hs" to history | grep
@iamdevloper Why no `history | grep 'command'`???
@iamdevloper Ctrl+r ;) Hit it n times to go to the nth command in the bash history. Or just search and hit tab ;l
@iamdevloper I feel this sooo much. Crtl+R is everything...
@iamdevloper correct, because a sysadmin would have just typed ^r and be done with it. ;)
@iamdevloper or you could just use the history command ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@iamdevloper Ctrl+R, do you even, bro? (sure you said that on purpose 😂)
@iamdevloper I've seen someone in my team does that.. 😂😂
@iamdevloper These people don't get it. Ctrl-R is too much work compared to mindlessly pressing the up button until you see what you want.
@iamdevloper @karaforthewin Ctrl + R and start typing =)
