Not a command as much as I press the up arrow a lot. I'm.pretty lazy and hitting the up arrow 12 times is easier then retyping a complex rsync command.

If you know it was the most recent rsync command: just type !rsync.

I actually use fish on my personal machine. But the servers I manage are pretty basic to save space and all just use stock bash.
