How can I make git do the “did you mean” suggestion?

Question

I type

git puhs

And git says:

kristian@office:~/myrepo$ git puhs
git: \'puhs\' is not a git command. See \'git --help\'

Did y         


        

Answer 1

According to git-config(1), you want to set help.autocorrect appropriately. For example, git config --global help.autocorrect 5 will make it wait half a second before running the command so you can see the message first.
