Fifth as in fifth most recent command or fifth oldest?

[โ€“] papertowels@lemmy.one 8 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I believe it's the fifth oldest - I think !-5 will get you the fifth impost recent, but I was shown that and haven't put it into practice.

The most common usecase I do is something like history | grep docker to find docker commands I've ran, then use ! followed by the number associated with the command I want to run in history.
