source the redo script mentioned above in zsh or bash. type the start few letters of a previous command and hit ctrl-r. you’ll see zsh/bash itself show a few command lines. you can scroll down/up to select one and execute it. more keys are bound to other actions. read the redo script.

I still can't figure out how to run this, but what do I need to run from a (sh) command prompt?

Do I need to run bash first?

Can you give me a command to run to get this started? I've tried all sorts, but I'm not familiar with bash even though I have it installed.
