Subject: Feature request: detecting mistyped command and isdentical possible matches
Date: Tue, 21 Aug 2018 15:01:48 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CADA507y8NAgN_v2-cxdWYZEvGUgzxFbFD52KmdyynWr6MufvRA@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hi!

I have an alias for 'git status': 'git st'. I also have configured
that an unrecognised (mistyped) Git command runs the closest match. In
this case I did the following:

'''
$ git stt
git: 'stt' is not a git command. See 'git --help'.

The most similar commands are
  st
  status
'''

In this particular case it would have been nice if Git also understood
that 'git st' and 'git status' are equivalent in my configuration, so
that it shouldn't have to warn me about them as different matches, but
instead just run any of them.

Thank you for Git. Maybe I'll see this feature in the future!

Best,
Erik
