Stuck in a broken remote session?

  <enter>
  ~.<enter>

want to use different command on last argument?

  less /path/to/some.file
  vim !$

piping and sudo

  sudo sh -c "my command | jq > meh.txt"

[KishanB]

To clear only the contents of a file (my most used and most favourite one esp with application logs)

cat /dev/null > any_file.txt
