I have recently found a keen interest in Theory of Computation. Hence, i implemented a few programs based on automata. I have uploaded the code on github released under GPL.

Search your history of commands

I just recently discovered that one can search a history of commands(in BASH) in a few keystrokes , rather than the ancient way of pressing the up arrow till you see it or eventually doze off
Press Ctrl + R
Start typing the command u want to search for( it starts autocompleting)
Once you reach the right command -> Type Enter
Happy Searching
