On the same topic I would like to add, sometimes we run a command and we want to copy the command we just ran onto clipboard. For that I have a solution. In the same way create another bash file and put this piece of code.
#!/usr/bin/bash history | tail -2 | head -1 | awk '{print $2}' | xclip -selection clipboard
Make it executable in the same way as shown above. If you want to access the file anywhere from the terminal just put it in /bin/ directory.
/bin/
