history
History views the history of previously executed commands. Commands are kept in
the $HISTFILE and are not updated until the user logs out. Updating the
$HISTFILE can be forced using the command history -w.
Reuse commands
Previously executed commands can be replayed using the ! operator. This can
work for both commands or specifying command parameters.
docker-compose -f ~/special-file.yml up -d
# replay the last command
!!
# replay specific command with last seen arguments
!docker-compose
Hiding from history
Adding a space to the front of any command will prevent it from being written to the $HISTFILE.
# Adding a space hides this command
docker-compose down
