Fetch a command with either:

  • C-e C-u: go to end of line, cut until beginning of line.
  • C-a C-k: go to start of line, cut until end of line.

Navigate to older command with:

  • C-p: previous command.
  • C-r: search command (use fzf for better results).

Navigate to the end with C-e and type &&.

Now you can paste with C-y.

This will turn…

git add .
git commit --amend --no-edit
git push origin changes

…into:

git add . && git commit --amend --no-edit && git push origin changes

And you will also have it in you history movingforward so you can:

  • C-r to search for it easily.
  • C-e C-w to change the branch name.
