Suppose I ran some command, and now want to save the output of that previous command to a text file (without re-running the command, of course, there's no reason to assume it's idempotent).
Is there some simple way to get that output of the previous command?
echo <magic_for_last_output> >file.txt
command-line

No, there isn't a way to save the last command's output to a file, as far as I know. The shell doesn't store that information.
However, you can hit the up arrow ↑ and add the redirection to the end of the last command, so you don't have to type anything new.
