DidYouMean (or dym) is a command-line spelling corrector written in rust utilizing Levenshtein distance. DidYouMean is for those moments when you know what a word sounds like, but you're not quite sure how it's spelled.
DidYouMean is available on the AUR as didyoumean-git. You can install it using any AUR helper. Using paru, the command would be as follows:
sh
paru -S didyoumean-git
evanjs very kindly packaged didyoumean for NixOS. The command to install is as follows:

Run the following command to build dym from source and install it in your home directory. Ensure that you have $CARGO_HOME/bin/ in your path.

cargo install didyoumean
The build dependencies for this project are git, rust, rustc, and cargo. First, clone this repository, then run
sh
cargo run -- <args>
where <args> are the command-line arguments you would pass the DidYouMean binary. Note that this is an unoptimized build contianing debug information so it runs much, much slower.
