I know i know…..its really annoying when we type something without sudo and it asks
for sudo and now we have to retype the whole things with sudo (or go to the previous
command [with up arrow] and then move back with arrow keys or home key or anything…)

while its a good approach…there is even a better approach to do it. It helps all
the time and in many ways not only in sudo

    ```wp-block-code
    !!
    ```

YESSS….that’s all it

Literally anything we cant we can use it with…even in subshell or shell scripts 
or automation or anything

Have fun
