When I typo a git command, such as typing git git checkout myfile (note the extra "git") I get the following output:
WARNING: You called a Git command named 'git', which does not exist.
Continuing under the assumption that you meant 'init'
in 0.1 seconds automatically...
usage: git init [-q | --quiet] [--bare] [--template=<template-directory>] [--shared[=<permissions>]] [<directory>]
So git assumes I meant init, and gives me all of 0.1 seconds to see the mistake before it moves forward. Not cool git!
How do I turn this "feature" off?
To see the setting of autocorrect, type:
git config help.autocorrect
Per the docs:
help.autocorrect is actually an integer which represents tenths of a second. So if you set it to 50, Git will give you 5 seconds to change your mind before executing the autocorrected command.
To turn this off, use the command:
git config --global help.autocorrect 0
