fuck: Set the `fuck` alias to `thefuck` tool.
$ eval "$(thefuck --alias)"
try on your machine

This command is used to set up an alias for the command-line tool called "thefuck".

The thefuck tool is a program that corrects command-line commands when you mistype them. It suggests and executes the correct versions of mistyped commands.

The command thefuck --alias generates the necessary configuration for creating an alias that can be used to invoke thefuck conveniently.

By executing eval "$(thefuck --alias)", the command generates the desired alias and evaluates it, making it available for immediate use. This allows you to access the functionality of thefuck by simply typing fuck instead of the full command name.

The purpose of using eval is to execute the output of the thefuck --alias command in the current shell session, ensuring that the changes take effect immediately.
