Usage
-----

Install this extension with pip:

.. code::

    pip install click-didyoumean


Use specific *did-you-mean* `group` class for your cli:


.. code:: python

    import click
    from click_didyoumean import DYMGroup

    @click.group(cls=DYMGroup)
    def cli():
        pass

    @cli.command()
    def foo():
        pass

    @cli.command()
    def bar():
        pass

    @cli.command()
    def barrr():
        pass

    if __name__ == "__main__":
        cli()


Or you it in a `CommandCollection`:

.. code:: python

    import click
    from click_didyoumean import DYMCommandCollection

    @click.group()
    def cli1():
        pass

    @cli1.command()
    def foo():
        pass

    @cli1.command()
    def bar():
        pass

    @click.group()
    def cli2():
        pass

    @cli2.command()
    def barrr():
        pass

    cli = DYMCommandCollection(sources=[cli1, cli2])

    if...

## AI interpretation — verify before relying

click-didyoumean adds git-like command suggestions to click CLI applications, automatically recommending similar commands when a user types an invalid one.

Verdict: A lightweight, permissively licensed extension for click that adds user-friendly command suggestions with no security vulnerabilities. Suitable for CLI projects seeking improved user experience; dormancy is not a concern given the stable repository state and broad Python version support (3.7–3.12).
