Today I have a very short tip about using a terminal. Did you ever have a situation that you’ve recently used some command but you can’t remember how it looked?
Of course, you can use the up arrow △, but it takes time…sometimes too long. I strongly encourage you to write a command on your own (not only using the copy-paste method…) but in some cases looking back may be useful 😉
So the trick is to use CTRL + R shortcut in the terminal, and open:
bck-i-search (in powershell)
take a look at this short gif:
it’s a very powerful tool, and I hope it will speed up your developing process!
- If you need to find something else with exact substring just type CTRL+R once again
- if you want to invoke the command type enter
- if you want to modify it click the tab button.
This feature works on Linux, Mac and Windows Powershell.
