This post is part of my Today I learned series in which I share all my web development learnings.
Another very quick one โ I just watched one of our weekly team calls and my new colleague Tilde shared that git has an auto correct feature. Very useful. ๐
For now I'm running with the following config which gives me four seconds of time to cancel if the correction is not what I want.
[help]
autocorrect = 40
If you want to learn more have a look at the git docs.
Starting with git 2
autocorrect provides a new prompt
configuration. The autocorrect options are now:
never
โ don't autocorrect (not helpful)immediate
โ autocorrect automatically (too much)40
โ autocorrect after a delay (doesn't feel right)prompt
โ ask if autocorrection should be applied (just perfect!)
