The `help.autocorrect` (1) configuration allows to run auto-corrected commands with a specified delay time (seconds) after the info message has been shown. This should be added and set to a value of `10` (1 second). References: (1) https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Customizing-Git-Git-Configuration#_code_help_autocorrect_code GH-150

In GH-150 [1] the `help.autocorrect` [1] configuration was added to run auto-corrected commands with a specified delay time (seconds) after a info message has been shown. After long usage this turns out to be more disruptive than useful because it might auto-correct to the wrong command, for example when there are many aliases with similar names but different purposes. In one situation I prevented my current non-commited work to be lost because Git was about to correct my command typo to my `wipe` alias which resets all changes to the last commit (`git reset --hard`). Also the time to wait before a command get actually corrected is wasted, because I could have entered the correct command multiple times again. To prevent these situations the features has been disabled again. [1]: #150 [2]: https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Customizing-Git-Git-Configuration#_code_help_autocorrect_code GH-286
