Abstract: We establish that the unusual two-form gauge transformations needed in the Green-Schwarz anomaly cancellation mechanism fit naturally into an $alph{a}^{\prime }$-deformed generalized geometry. The algebra of gauge transformations is a consistent deformation of the Courant bracket and features a nontrivial modification of the diffeomorphism group. This extension of generalized geometry emerged from a `doubled $alph{a}^{\prime }$-geometry', which provides a construction of exactly gauge and T-duality invariant $alph{a}^{\prime }$ corrections to the effective action.
