EVERYTIME!!

bash does not store any consecutive command more than once, so it won't happen there

Only tool I've ever known to do this is cygwin.

CTRL + R
Thank me later

@jespersh fine!

sudo cat ~/.bashrc

@beleg is more for cmd users

Uhm, i use ohmyzsh, i can just type the begining of something, hit up and search only what matched what I typed... i assume there are other ways to fo thism

@AlexDeLarge a comma would be more appropriate.

This legitimately happens to me every single time I use a terminal.

Can someone explain to me how the up and down arrows work in cmd.exe?
Not sure if bash has this as well, but the up/down arrows in cmd does some freaky shit that I never understand. I'm sure there is a logic to it that I just haven't picked up on yet.

@kilobytelogic Use PowerShell instead

Or Bash for Windows

@filthyranter haha, sometimes I do sometimes I don't. Any clue as to how it works in cmd though?

@kilobytelogic No, I don't even use it, but it also has a history. Just slightly different saving defaults.

@filthyranter sometimes I feel like it works like this: down arrow is previous command, and up is the one before that. But sometimes it feels like down arrow does nothing...

Shift + O (for the vimmers)
