thefuck 3.2

Magnificent app which corrects your previous console command

Magnificent app which corrects your previous console command, inspired by a [@liamosaur](https://twitter.com/liamosaur/) tweet.

Few more examples:

➜ apt-get install vim
E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: Permission denied)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?

➜ fuck
sudo apt-get install vim [enter/↑/↓/ctrl+c]
[sudo] password for nvbn:
Reading package lists... Done
...

➜ git push
fatal: The current branch master has no upstream branch.
To push the current branch and set the remote as upstream, use

    git push --set-upstream origin master


➜ fuck
git push --set-upstream origin master [enter/↑/↓/ctrl+c]
Counting objects: 9, done.
...

➜ puthon
No command 'puthon' found, did you mean:
 Command 'python' from package 'python-minimal' (main)
 Command 'python' from package 'python3' (main)
zsh: command not found: puthon

➜ fuck
python [enter/↑/↓/ctrl+c]
Python 3.4.2 (default, Oct  8 2014, 13:08:17)
...

➜ git brnch
git: 'brnch' is not a git command. See 'git --help'.

Did you mean this?
    branch

➜ fuck
git branch [enter/↑/↓/ctrl+c]
* master

➜ lein rpl
'rpl' is not a task. See 'lein help'.

Did you mean this?
         repl

➜ fuck
lein repl [enter/↑/↓/ctrl+c]
nREPL server started on port 54848 on host 127.0.0.1 - nrepl://127.0.0.1:54848
REPL-y 0.3.1
...

If you are not scared to blindly run the changed command, there is a require_confirmation settings option:

➜ apt-get install vim
E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: Permission denied)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?

➜ fuck
sudo apt-get install vim
[sudo] password for nvbn:
Reading package lists... Done
...

Requirements

• python (2.7+ or 3.3+)

wget -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvbn/thefuck/master/install.sh | sh - && $0

Manual installation

Install The Fuck with pip:

sudo pip install thefuck

Or using an OS package manager (OS X, Ubuntu, Arch).

You should place this command in your .bash_profile, .bashrc, .zshrc or other startup script:

Or in your shell config (Bash, Zsh, Fish, Powershell, tcsh).

Changes will be available only in a new shell session. To make them available immediately, run source ~/.bashrc (or your shell config file like .zshrc).

Creating your own rules

For adding your own rule you should create your-rule-name.py in ~/.config/thefuck/rules. The rule should contain two functions:

match(command: Command) -> bool
get_new_command(command: Command) -> str | list[str]

Also the rule can contain an optional function

side_effect(old_command: Command, fixed_command: str) -> None

and optional enabled_by_default, requires_output and priority variables.

Command has three attributes: script, stdout and stderr.

Rules api changed in 3.0: For accessing settings in rule you need to import it with from thefuck.conf import settings. settings is a special object filled with ~/.config/thefuck/settings.py and values from env (see more below).

Simple example of the rule for running script with sudo:

def match(command):
    return ('permission denied' in command.stderr.lower()
            or 'EACCES' in command.stderr)


def get_new_command(command):
    return 'sudo {}'.format(command.script)

# Optional:
enabled_by_default = True

def side_effect(command, fixed_command):
    subprocess.call('chmod 777 .', shell=True)

priority = 1000  # Lower first, default is 1000

requires_output = True

More examples of rules, utility functions for rules, app/os-specific helpers.

Settings

The Fuck has a few settings parameters which can be changed in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/thefuck/settings.py ($XDG_CONFIG_HOME defaults to ~/.config):

• rules – list of enabled rules, by default thefuck.conf.DEFAULT_RULES;

• exclude_rules – list of disabled rules, by default [];

• require_confirmation – requires confirmation before running new command, by default True;

• wait_command – max amount of time in seconds for getting previous command output;

• no_colors – disable colored output;

• priority – dict with rules priorities, rule with lower priority will be matched first;

• debug – enables debug output, by default False.

Example of settings.py:

rules = ['sudo', 'no_command']
exclude_rules = ['git_push']
require_confirmation = True
wait_command = 10
no_colors = False
priority = {'sudo': 100, 'no_command': 9999}
debug = False

Or via environment variables:

• THEFUCK_RULES – list of enabled rules, like DEFAULT_RULES:rm_root or sudo:no_command;

• THEFUCK_EXCLUDE_RULES – list of disabled rules, like git_pull:git_push;

• THEFUCK_REQUIRE_CONFIRMATION – require confirmation before running new command, true/false;

• THEFUCK_WAIT_COMMAND – max amount of time in seconds for getting previous command output;

• THEFUCK_NO_COLORS – disable colored output, true/false;

• THEFUCK_PRIORITY – priority of the rules, like no_command=9999:apt_get=100, rule with lower priority will be matched first;

• THEFUCK_DEBUG – enables debug output, true/false.

For example:

export THEFUCK_RULES='sudo:no_command'
export THEFUCK_EXCLUDE_RULES='git_pull:git_push'
export THEFUCK_REQUIRE_CONFIRMATION='true'
export THEFUCK_WAIT_COMMAND=10
export THEFUCK_NO_COLORS='false'
export THEFUCK_PRIORITY='no_command=9999:apt_get=100'
