Use “shopt -s cdspell” to automatically correct mistyped directory names on cd

Use shopt -s cdspell to correct the typos in the cd command automatically as 

shown below. If you are not good at typing and make lot of mistakes, this will 

be very helpful. 

 

# cd /etc/mall 

-bash: cd: /etc/mall: No such file or directory 

 

# shopt -s cdspell 

 

# cd /etc/mall 

 

# pwd 

/etc/mail 

 

[Note: By mistake, when I typed mall instead of mail, 

          cd corrected it automatically]
