I think it's a funny little app. I could see it being kind of useful for the author but I think I would personally have trouble using an app that I don't actually know what it's going to do 100%. I think that you could mitigate this a bit by putting the list of commands it corrects right at the top of the readme. I think most of us have probably been at the point where we were typing something like "I hate you, you god damn computer!" into the terminal or text editor. I see this as a moderately elegant helper in those situations

'I could see it being kind of useful for the author...' That was my impression. It reminded me of little custom scripts or functions I've created that help with my day to day work, things I wouldn't necessarily give to someone because they were built with myself in mind. I know how they work and exactly what they do.

Check out the only issue open: https://github.com/nvbn/thefuck/issues/1 https://github.com/nvbn/thefuck/issues/1 I like it, but I have to know every command it modifies/checks, I cannot run a blackbox command and hope.

  That issue has an alias you can use: I just added an additional alias for testing. It simply outputs the command fuck would execute: alias tryfuck='thefuck $(fc -ln -1)'

I added info about how it works and what it can do in readme. And yep, it can add sudo to your previous rm -rf /.
