We've all been there — typing away furiously, managing files on our Linux system using the Bash shell, when suddenly, a typo strikes! Specifically, the infamous ls typed as sl. Normally, this would just result in a command not found error, but what if it could be an opportunity for a little amusement? Enter sl (Steam Locomotive), a charming command-line program designed to make a typo less annoying and a bit more entertaining. sl is a small program that runs a fun animation of a steam locomotive across your terminal. It was originally conceived as a slight jest — turning a common typo (sl instead of ls, which lists directory contents) into a visually entertaining experience.
