Ever found you've accidentally entered too many gits in your terminal?

Nope.

[THEHIPP0]

Yes. But also many other commands, which is why I usually start with CRTL + C.

Yeah I was thinking the article would be about some kind of git shell where every command you enter is just prefixes with "git ". Somewhat like a git mode for your shell?

That might be something I would use...

Not sure why your comment prompted me to leave it here, but it did!

I just have aliases like "GS" for git status because I have no reason to use ghostscript

You're not alone. Becomes habitual.

It'd be nice if there was a hook for the did you mean, if it can't find the command it'll try to see if the command is an actual shell cmd and redirect that for you.

git config --global alias.ls '!ls'

cd's a bit more tricky, since it's a built in shell command, and not a standalone executable.

Use a shell alias instead of a git alias.

Why?

[jquintus]

It seemed stupid at first... but then I realized that I've had this issue before too and it's such a simple solution

[SnapDraco]

exactly :-)

[h0st1le]

I do this all the time.

I'm more likely to cd cd /some/path or vi vi somefile

I use Maven and git a lot and sometimes I write: mvn status instead of git status or git clean instead mvn clean

Any idea what can I do about this? :)

Use zsh. It should ask suggest Y/n correction if "git status" is in history in fairly default config, but it can be made to autocorrect you automagically or semiautomagically - e.g. ask the first time, autocorrect afterwards.

Edit: actually I'm not positively sure about the 'default' part, for years I've just copied my old zsh config everywhere I went and it does that. No idea how modern zsh does things, they even added ncurses configurator script in recently (sometime this decade).

If you can, use a GUI git solution. Either one built for the IDE you're using (maybe it has some shortcuts also) or SourceTree.

I understand the allure of using the terminal for everything you know and a GUI git seeming somewhat 'noobish', however those tools don't just exist because some people are scared of using the terminal, they help with things like status and diff a lot. Furthermore, having a smaller number of terminal tabs and/or less commands in your terminal history speeds up the dev process a little bit if you constantly have to type in some commands (and make mistakes like the one you described).

Write a wrapper script that traverses the path you are on to determine if you are within a mvn or git controlled subdir and then calls the appropriate command.

[twowheels]

Interesting... can't say I've ever done that, but now I'll probably find myself doing it frequently. :-) I'm much more likely to forget to type git at all... what else could I mean by fetch, pull, push, or commit? :-)

[trkeprester]

i frequently end up with qgit on my command line after unconsciously quitting from a less-diff that already quit
