Not being 100% sure which command this will correct to is dangerous. Also the need for this is largely negated by a shell with autosuggestions.

> Not being 100% sure which command this will correct to is dangerous. And yet the concept of the invocation `fuck --dry-run` is surely unappealing. :-)

Created a pull request for a `fuck -dry` option. Did not test nor store the command so when it is ran again it is recalled, but the base is there for it to be fully implemented.

Zsh's completion system handles most of those examples if enabled:

http://zsh.sourceforge.net/Guide/zshguide06.html#l162

http://zsh.sourceforge.net/Doc/Release/Shell-Grammar.html

http://zsh.sourceforge.net/Doc/Release/Expansion.html

It can actually be integrated into history expansion, used at will, configured with a custom prompt, told to ignore certain words and files that annoy you, etc. But if you try to search for "zsh correction", most posts are related to disabling it entirely.

Yes, using the word "fuck" for this just strikes me as a bit immature.

American prudishness. There's nothing immature in swearing in and of itself.

Sounds like you need a review of: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

Or perhaps just some common decency ? If you want a tool / platform to take off, using the word 'fuck' is not the way to go.

This looks very helpful ... however, could we get a PG version like "The Crap"?

Fork it if you care that much.

Looks like someone already has, actually: https://github.com/shaungallagher/thefudge

But seriously, I can't some up with a single situation where using "fudge/crap" instead of fuck would matter.
