## Requirements

- python (2.7+ or 3.3+)
- pip
- python-dev

## Installation [*experimental*]

On Ubuntu and OS X you can install `The Fuck` with installation script:
 
```bash
wget -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvbn/thefuck/master/install.sh | sh - && $0
```

## Manual installation

Install `The Fuck` with `pip`:

```bash
sudo pip install thefuck
```

[Or using an OS package manager (OS X, Ubuntu, Arch).](https://github.com/nvbn/thefuck/wiki/Installation)

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

```bash
eval "$(thefuck --alias)"
# You can use whatever you want as an alias, like for Mondays:
eval "$(thefuck --alias FUCK)"
```

[Or in your shell config (Bash, Zsh, Fish, Powershell, tcsh).](https://github.com/nvbn/thefuck/wiki/Shell-aliases)

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`).


## Update

```bash
sudo pip install thefuck --upgrade
```

**Aliases changed in 1.34.**

* `rm_root` – adds `--no-preserve-root` to `rm -rf /` command.

## 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:

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

Also the rule can contain an optional function

```python
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](#settings)).

Simple example of the rule for running script with `sudo`:

```python
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
```

## 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`:

```python
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:

```bash
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'
```
