Mend v0.8.3: Typo & History Assistant Rewrite. Git TUI Wizard added.

Alright everyone,

A quick update on Mend. The project was recently accepted into the curated awesome-zsh-plugins list, so a massive thank you for the support on the previous post!

Version 0.8.3 is now live on GitHub and the AUR zsh-mend-git.

This release addresses a bug report regarding the typo & history assistant and introduces a clean workflow addition.

A complete Typo & History Assistant rewrite mend -h was needed after a community issue was raised about the old fuzzy matching engine being a bit too broad and missing straightforward package manager typos like pacaman and shell commands like ccd aaps. The logic now uses a strict two-character prefix filter. This slashes the background noise and pins the correct command right at the top of the menu, while cleanly replacing the typo in your terminal history file.

Git Deployment Wizard mend -git. I was just finishing this function when the history issue popped up, but managed to get it wrapped up for this release.

Look, I know that Git is a massive and complicated beast, so this wizard is just a small poke to the ecosystem rather than a full tool replacement. It simply replaces tedious terminal text prompts with a lightweight fzf TUI to help speed up dotfile tracking and quick repository pushes.

Added Help Menu mend --help a standard usage layout for easy flag cross-referencing.

The Arch PKGBUILD is fully updated to standard packaging rules and ready to pull down.

Grab the update and let me know if the new prefix matching behaves itself with your history files.

Thank you all for the continuous support. It would not be possible without it.
