Shell ! command

!! is well known to repeat the last shell command in a *nix terminal, it turns out there are other useful variants:

Given a shell history:

$ history
10034  echo $PATH
10035  history
10036  type ruby
10037  which ruby
10038  history
10039  ls

!n - execute a specific item:

$ !10039
ls
Applications
Desktop
...

!?<match>?: matches a pattern and runs the first command that matches:

$ !?uby?
type ruby
ruby is /Users/jason/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.2.2/bin/ruby
