Worth noting that `ssh[up]` isn't available by default in bash nor zsh — though it wouldn't surprise me if helpers such as oh-my-zsh enables it for you. `ssh[up]` is certainly an awesome feature — though (perhaps sadly) not default behavior.

If you want to make sure you do not execute commands you did not intend to, the section linked below is a great start:
- https://refp.se/articles/your-shell-and-the-lazy-exclamation...
You may also look into `magic-space` which makes the expansion of event-designators happen inline, I thought about including it but the article felt long even without it.
Thanks for reading the article, I hope it was a worthwhile read even with alternate workflows elsewhere!
Thanks for the tips. These days I don’t use sh derivatives as my primary shell and the shell
I do use has a few features to make command search more ergonomic and safer. But these are useful tips nonetheless
replyAgreed. I especially cringed at the author's example of mixing that with "sudo".
replyThat's mixing human memory with root access. Worse than AI :) I have lost more to mistakes than bugs over 30 years.
replythe "mixing of sudo"-example is using `!!`, which as explained is the immediately previous command, a little confused how that translates to the "execute command somewhere in the history" argument?
replyI suppose it depends on the kinds of mistakes to which one is prone.
