>I quite often type git then go away and come back, then type a full git status after it. Does anyone else actually do this besides OP. I've never heard of this problem until now.

I do. And I also write "vim vim thefile.txt" and stuff like that. Finally I've written a small shell function that corrects "gi tpull" to "git pull", because that happens at least once a day.

Personally, I don't want my typos corrected when I enter commands. I prefer the negative reinforcement to encourage fewer errors. I also don't mind an occasional error.

Not hatin. Just wondering if I'm alone.

I'm the same, though I create tiny aliases for commonly typed commands. gp = "git pull", and so on.

I just alias 'pull' to git pull, it's much nicer. Also 'push' and a few of the other most common ones.

Or alias to gp, gl, gd, ga, gmv, grm, gsh, glg, gcm, gcam, gpuo, gdwd, gpuom, ...

You probably aren't alone, since commands that punish you when you mistype exist. Check out sl[0] or gti[1].

I often type "git clone ", then switch to a browser to copy/paste the URL, which is usually fine, but there are still many times where I've happened to include "git clone" in the copied string. (So I end up with "git clone git clone $URL").

Most shells now support a bracketed paste mode. zsh: https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh/commit/98687fa1dec803f041cb..., bash: https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/html_node/Readline-... (enable-bracketed-paste)

I always typed rebnoot, so I patched Netbsd to allow rebnoot. Then I patched it still so it would say, "Rebnooting". Fun times.

"Rebnooting" sounds like it should be a real word; probably a military term.

> git config --global alias.git '!exec git'

Is the exec really required?

   git config --global alias.git '!git'
Will also work. Am I missing something?

EDIT: From git doc, "If the alias expansion is prefixed with an exclamation point, it will be treated as a shell command"

So exec is not required then.
