This is my approach, and for those who don’t know, you can use those line numbers that come back from history to rerun the command. Like if your output is something like this:
$ history | grep tmp
501 ls /tmp
502 history | grep tmp
Wait until you learn about ctrl-R to search the bash history… :) If you press that and start typing, you will get auto complete from previous commands you typed. This is how an experienced linux user can be so fast in the terminal.
There are even better tools for this, so ctrl R is just the built in way. Later you should look into https://github.com/junegunn/fzf

didn’t know there was a comment for that, I just always used cat to read the bash history file
