Awesome but commonly unknown Linux Commands
Thank you for another '...and this is why I love HN' moment.

Just be aware it may not execute the command you think. man bash for HISTIGNORE. Personally I never use it with sudo; it's too dangerous.

This is also why I disabled HISTIGNORE in both bash and zshell. zshell also allows me to press TAB to expand the command in-place before I press enter, so I can still use the shortcut without the danger.
