What is it “!!” and how it connected to `$_` or `$?`?












0














I was playing with string substitution while learning a bit more of bash, and I have add !! into some dummy example echo ${TEST/hey/!!}...



I was surprised that !! was replaced with last entered command... what is it? is it somehow connected to magick codes link $? or $_ or even -. Is there anything else I can use in same manner in bash?
