#### Auto-Correct
If you type `git comit` you will get this:
Git gives suggestions for misspelled commands and if auto-correct is enabled the command can be fixed and executed automatically. Auto-correct is enabled by specifying an integer which is the delay in tenths of a second before git will run the corrected command. Zero is the default value where no correcting will take place, and a negative value will run the corrected command with no delay.
For example, if you type `git comit` you will get this:
```bash
$ git comit -m "Message"

To call `commit` when `comit` is typed, just enable auto-correct:
Auto-correct can be enabled like this (with a 1.5 second delay):
```bash
$ git config --global help.autocorrect 1
$ git config --global help.autocorrect 15
```

So now the command `git comit` will be auto-corrected to `git commit` like this:
```bash
$ git comit -m "Message"
# WARNING: You called a Git command named 'comit', which does not exist.
# Continuing under the assumption that you meant 'commit'
# in 0.1 seconds automatically...
# in 1.5 seconds automatically...
```
