History of 2020-07-26 Running Node.js scripts from the command line

2020-07-26
		08:05 UTC Revision 1 . . . . mbork – A few days ago I accidentally ran Node.js from the command line with a wrong argument. I had a script – call it myscript.js – in a directory called myscript. I typed node mys in the directory one level higher, pressed tab and ended up with node myscript/, then pressed enter and got an error (obviously). So, I then cd‘d into the right directory and (without much thinking) pressed up twice and enter. To my surprise, the script ran. What is going on?
