gti

I've finally implemented the command I keep typing all day: gti .

It's a program that displays a badly made ASCII-art animation to punish you for your typing error - and after that magically launches the command you meant to launch.

The code is available under an MIT-like license on github - though of course anybody can write his or her own version in a couple of minutes.

This whole thing is heavily inspired by sl , which displays a steam locomotive. However, gti is actually nicer than sl as it at least executes git after the animation. :-)

gti is available as a package in

Arch Linux

Gentoo

FreeBSD

OpenBSD

Mac OS X via the homebrew package system.

Thanks to kusma it should now also compile and run on Windows.
