+# re-type-on-error
+
+## description
+A plugin for [oh-my-zsh](#https://github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/) that watches for
+ failed commands(=commands with a non-zero exit code). If a command failed in t
+he interactive shell, it get immediately re-typed, or maybe call it re-displaye
+d to the user for possible corrections.
+
+## showcase
+![showcase](showcase.gif)
+
+## installation
+
+1. install [oh-my-zsh](#https://github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/)
+2. make sure that the plugins array is included in your .zshrc file: \
+`plugins=(... re-type-on-error)`
+
+## configuration
+
+### environment variables
+`ZSH_RETYPE_ON_ERROR_SHOW_DISCLAIMER=true` \
+This setting shows a string before the re-typed failed command that indicates:
++ that the previous command failed
++ the exit code of the previous command
++ the default of this setting is true as indicated above, simply set to false 
+    if this is not desired
