How do I execute command from history without printing it again in the terminal?

Question

$ echo hello; cd ~/Docs    
hello

$ !! 
echo hello; cd ~/Docs
hello

I want to get hello and execute the change directory after typing !! without re-showing echo hello; cd ~/Docs, again.

Edit:

fc only works for one command, but doesn't execute the full line from terminal. The same for !! or $(!!), they don't work. I tried stty -echo, but the same - it only hides typing !!, but still shows the command. The closest solution I had is to store that command then run it from a script.sh, but it will still show that it's running a script.sh.

Answer 1

Create the following function that is loaded with your bash config (for instance in .bashrc):

rpt() {
  IFS=';' read -r -a array <<< "$(fc -ln -1)"
  for element in "${array[@]}"
  do
    $element
  done
}

Run the command rpt to execute the function.

This reads the last command string into an array, and splits it at the ; signs, and each element in the array (each command) is run separately.

For this to work, the ; is a reserved character, that can not under any circumstance be used in printed strings etc.

This is a limitation you have to accept for this solution, but I consider it "good enough" to work.
