How many Linux users don't know about ctrl-r history search in bash?

After a while, you start relying on ctrl + R like a notepad 😛, also for the longest time after i got into linux i didnt know that by pressing control R multiple times you go back multiple instances of the search term 😂

Also handy in bashrc

*Unlimited history

'HISTSIZE=-1

HISTFILESIZE=-1'

*Update history immediately.

'shopt -s histappend'

*Ignore commands prefaced with space & remove duplicates

'HISTCONTROL=ignoreboth'

Wow so you can share the history across multiple sessions this way?

Yes, history from one will immediately be available in another this way 👍

I always thought you needed fish of zsh to do that. One day I will be a real Linux user!
