 	If git detects typos and can identify exactly one valid command similar
-	to the error, git will automatically run the intended command after
-	waiting a duration of time defined by this configuration value in
-	deciseconds (0.1 sec).  If this value is 0, the suggested corrections
-	will be shown, but not executed. If it is a negative integer, or
-	"immediate", the suggested command
-	is run immediately. If "never", suggestions are not shown at all. The
-	default value is zero.
+	to the error, git will try to suggest the correct command or even
+	run the suggestion automatically. Possible config values are:
+	 - 0 (default): show the suggested command.
+	 - positive number: run the suggested command after specified
+deciseconds (0.1 sec).
+	 - "immediate": run the suggested command immediately.
+	 - "prompt": show the suggestion and prompt for confirmation to run
