@papertowels@lemmy.one I've been working in the bash shell since 1993 and did not know sudo !! was a thing. Good lord, I no longer have to press up, press crtl-left a bunch of times, then type sudo enter space anymore. And I can give it an easy-to-remember alias like 'resu' or 'redo'! Ahahaha, this changes everything! Thank you!!
