About:
Thefuck is a tool that corrects errors in previous console commands. It inspects the last command's output and offers a corrected version that the user can execute with a single keystroke. This saves time and reduces frustration from typos and incorrect syntax.

Key Features:

Supports multiple shells including bash, zsh, and fish
Offers customizable rules for command correction
Enables quick confirmation with a single keystroke
Works with a wide range of common command-line tools

Use Cases:

Correcting typos in git, apt, or docker commands
Fixing permission denied errors by prepending sudo
Retrying commands that failed due to temporary network issues

Alternatives:

bash-history – Relies on manual search and re-execution of previous commands
zsh-autosuggestions – Provides inline suggestions as you type, rather than post-command correction
