The Bash history list is a very useful way to recall instructions. To recall instructions from the history list, we can use !! to recall the last instruction, step through the history list using the up and down arrow or control+p and control+n, and recall any item using !# where # is the history list number or !str where str is a partial string that matches the first characters of the instruction. This animation provides a demonstration of using the history list.
