In bash, there exist some shortcuts as the following ones :
!my_previous_command
run "my_previous_command" with the same arguments as it used at its last 
execution

!!
run the last command again with the same arguments

!-2
run the penultimate command  (command 3 if you launch the 5th command)

You also can use the emacs mode under bash to search a previous command 
invocation with any pattern introduced by C-r that you can repeat (or 
modify) again with C-r until you get the searched string.
