Stop ZSH from trying to correct command

Question

$ knife cookbook download recipe
zsh: correct 'cookbook' to 'cookbooks' [nyae]?

How can I get zsh to stop trying to correct cookbook to cookbooks??

cookbooks is a directory where I run the command so I understand why it's doing it, but cookbook is a valid part of the command line.

Answer 1

You can add setopt nocorrectall; setopt correct to your ~/.zshrc file to disable this behavior. It will still function for commands, but not for arguments.

Answer 2

If you don't want to disable corrections completely, you should define an alias:

alias knife='nocorrect knife'
