#14Git already has a config to do this:
help.autocorrect
Automatically correct and execute mistyped commands after waiting for the given number of deciseconds (0.1 sec).

I think most of us have probably been at the point where we were typing something like "I hate you, you g…

That was my impression. It reminded me of little custom scripts or functions I've created that help with my day to day work, things I wouldn't necessarily give to someone because they were built with myself in mind. I know how they work and exactly what they do.

#19Projects like this always make me think the developer's imagination has drastically failed them with respect to the scope of negative consequences that may result from using their tool.
