• I was doing a git commit I was excited about in the comments I did the following::

git commit -m "Super positive, exciting comment placeholder. woo hoo!"

• I pressed enter, and I got the following error::

"-bash:!": event not found

• I had never seen it before. I’m like, what?
• I was so in disbelief that I tried to run the command thrice, yielding the same result each time.
• So, I googled the error string and came upon this solution link::

What is "-bash: !": event not found"

<aside> 💡 I then proceeded to delete the ! mark at the end of woo hoo! and pressed enter and the code commited.

• Fixed!
