Lets see in order to use "fuck" I need to first install it and its dependencies. The caret substitution natively exists in the Bash shell. Also I know that no matter what system I am on be it OS X or Linux the caret syntax is guaranteed to work. I don't understand how you think anything can be easier than using the functionality that has existed in the Bash shell shell(or even C shell variants)since forever.
If that were how things worked, we'd never use any new technology. Obviously it is easier to pay a one-time up-front cost than to slog away inefficiently forever.

Nice try. That's a straw man. This isn't new technology. Its simply replicating existing functionality.

Whats the average typo 1 character as in most of the demos for "Fuck"? So I can either type 2 carets and 4 letters for a total of 6 characters or I can type the 4 characters in the word "fuck", how is the former inefficient? Wow, what a slog. I can't imagine what I will do with all the time I will have left over after installing this"

#83Didn't this appear on Hacker News years ago? I have been using it since and absolutely love it!

It can't help with autocomplete, but I guses it would be easy to create a rule for fixing incorrect ffmpeg calls.
Create an issue about that in https://github.com/nvbn/thefuck/issues

Add this to gitconfig file. It will automatically run the correct command after displaying what it is after a delay. The value is in 0.1s (centiseconds) of seconds. So 20 means 2 seconds. [help] autocorrect = 20 OR run git config --global help.autocorrect 20
Wow, great tip, thanks. One command down, hundreds to go.
I once set up a schedule where I would open the gitconfig manpage and read at least one section of the settings. My gitconfig file growed to over 200 lines then.
Quite a lot of stuff isn't very helpful in there though.

Wouldn't those be deciseconds? Also wtf unit. Use Millis or seconds as a float. Yay Linus making sure that git only makes sense to wizards like him.
I don't know. I'm confused as is. I really hate when people break:
1. Conventional units.
2. Don't follow the XDG basedir spec for config files.
3. Make inconsistent command line flags.
4. Don't allow control of color output using a flag thinking they are smarter than me.

#90It's a nice utility. But I stopped using it because it keeps messing up my bash history.
