one of the best videos available on youtube on bash scripts ... also I am wondering why are you not making more of such videos... this is real gold and your presentation is unique and awesome... good job!
I really liked the video ! I didn't know about the `fc` command, but it seems really useful indeed. I am currently using the readline shortcut C-x C-e which opens the currently typed command in your "$EDITOR". I also always have trouble to remind myself of the flags that can be used in command substitution (such as !!:gs/foo/bar), so I use only rarely for now. The Alt-. binding is indeed very useful, I use it all the time. Looking forward to other videos like this one !
I agree that !!:gs is hard to remember. And I didn’t know about C-x C-e, nice! I think I’ve gotten comfortable enough with emacs-style in-line editing (C-a, C-e, M-b, M-f, M-backspace, C-y, etc.) that I probably wouldn’t need that much. Still, good to know about-when you need an editor, you need an editor!
Simply superb. This was truly awesome. Is there a way I can have a small portion of bash to display these tips persistently? I may want to replace the content of that part once I master a shortcut.
Yes, a subtle one. They refer to the same thing: the last word from the previous command. However, !$ will get expanded when the command is executed (i.e. after you hit return), whereas M-. will get expanded immediately, so that you can see it and even edit what's inserted before executing the command.
Yeah, I've been using $_ for the past five years as found here www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/html_node/Special-Parameters.html . It's good to know the ALT + . shortcut as well.

I learnt more from these 10 mins than 1 - 2 hours in many bash books and 1 - 2 years on the job. Simply awesome.
I'm glad it was helpful! And thanks for saying so!
Thanks a lot for this video man, I thought I was going to see the typical bash 'tips', find, ls -lsa, ctrl + r, sudo !!, this was beyond! Great work!
Very good video and it’s *really* advanced ! Learned a lot, thank you very much !
Are you going to share more of these ? It's really helpful!

This video is awsome.please continue and share more handy tips like these.
Didn't know about fc and :gs// (freakin' awesome!)
Awesome video, i came with confidence that I might know atleast one ... But I didn't any of th, thanks for sharing.

Hey this video was amazing to see these tricks. I use zsh with bindkey -v for vim controls. What are your thoughts about the VIM bindings?
@Jeff Terrell Interesting, Ill check it out thanks again for the great information.
Very helpful, thanks
Nice to see that I actually know some of the stuff:)
Is there any difference between ALT+Period and !$ ?
Yes, a subtle one. They refer to the same thing: the last word from the previous command. However, !$ will get expanded when the command is executed (i.e. after you hit return), whereas M-. will get expanded immediately, so that you can see it and even edit what's inserted before executing the command.
kyptin Awesome, I figured there was something. Thanks!
Yeah, I've been using $_ for the past five years as found here www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/html_node/Special-Parameters.html . It's good to know the ALT + . shortcut as well.
