didn't know there was a comment for that, I just always used cat to read the bash history file
Wait until you learn about ctrl-R to search the bash history... :) If you press that and start typing, you will get auto complete from previous commands you typed. This is how an experienced linux user can be so fast in the terminal.
There are even better tools for this, so ctrl R is just the built in way. Later you should look into https://github.com/junegunn/fzf
