Linux/thefuck

thefuck

dead project, but very useful. See linux/pay-respects as an alternative.

Broken with newer python environments like Python 3.12 (which you would find on Ubuntu 24.04).

"Magnificent app which corrects your previous console command."

Installation

sudo apt update

fix for python 3.12

Having a hard time getting set up on Ubuntu 24.04 · Issue #1449 · nvbn/thefuck · GitHub
https://github.com/nvbn/thefuck/issues/1449#issuecomment-2137634221

quick fix for pip installed version at least:

-

open ~/.local/lib/python3.12/site-packages/thefuck/conf.py

replace line:

from imp import load_source

with:

import importlib.machinery

and lines:

settings = load_source(
    'settings', text_type(self.user_dir.joinpath('settings.py')))

with:

settings = importlib.machinery.SourceFileLoader(
        'settings', text_type(self.user_dir.joinpath('settings.py'))).load_module()

-

then open ~/.local/lib/python3.12/site-packages/thefuck/types.py

replace import statement as above:

from imp import load_source

with:

import importlib.machinery

and line:

rule_module = load_source(name, str(path))

with:

rule_module = importlib.machinery.SourceFileLoader(name, str(path)).load_module()

-

This worked for me on Fedora 40 using fish shell in tilix terminal emulator, can't say for any other combination.

clean version

Edit:

/usr/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages/thefuck/ui.py

    try:
        selector = CommandSelector(corrected_commands)
    except NoRuleMatched:
        logs.failed('No fucks given' if get_alias() == 'fuck'
                    else 'Nothing found')

to something like:

    except NoRuleMatched:
        logs.failed('No ducks given' if get_alias() == 'fuck'
                    else 'Nothing found')

eval "$(thefuck --alias)"
alias fck=fuck
alias oops=fuck
alias nuts=fuck
alias duck=fuck
alias F=fuck
