I've seen this a few times, but the one that always gets me are things like aws, it does something in response to "aws --help", but it doesn't tell you that you really want to call "aws help" to get some useful help.
I've seen that pattern before, but it always drives me a little crazy.
- rbanffy 6y agoThat. And Git’s passive aggressive approach when it kind of knows what you wanted, but will show you how you failed to write that command.
- dvdkon 6y agoWhat's the alternative? Accepting the dev's favourite misspelling npm-style doesn't seem like a good idea to me.
- rbanffy 6y agoNo, but a "command not found" would suffice and not hint that it could have figured it out for you. Alternatively, it could offer a y/n prompt.
- dvdkon 6y agoI'd rather have the suggestions, I don't take hints from computer software personally :) Sometimes I just misremember a particular command (i.e. "submodule" vs "submodules").
- kdmytro 6y agoGit has an option to run misspelled commands anyway.
