While the up arrow is very useful (thx @faho) I've discovered the Ctrl+r which opens the search.

You can search the history with the usual pager command (usually '/'), or pipe it through grep or other commands. Like git, or systemctl, the pager is only used if the output is directly to a TTY.

| Apr 18, 2017 at 23:25 | comment | added | Gilles 'SO- stop being evil' | But what if you don't remember the command, but read your history and find it out? E.g. “whichever command I ran immediately after that one” or “that command contained the name of a Chinese emperor but I don't remember which one”. | |
