GPT-CLI-Assistant

Use AI to make terminal commands!

Always forgetting how to use the terminal like me? Well no more!

Requirements

• Basic shell knowledge
• Python 3
• Mac or Linux
• Bash, Zsh, or Fish

Quick Start 🏎️

Run the following:

git clone https://github.com/hunterunger/gpt-cli-assistant.git
cd gpt-cli-assistant
python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt
python3 main.py "check what shell im using"

It will then prompt you to set up your API key with OpenAI.

Also, it will give you an alias snippet for Alias Setup.

If you get an output like echo $SHELL, it's working!

Alias Setup 🔩

Set up your alias

Run echo $SHELL to check your shell. Then run echo $PWD to get it's absolute path or use the snippet from earlier.

If you're using BASH:

echo 'alias gpt="python3 ~/path/to/main.py"' >> .bashrc 

If you're using ZSH:

echo 'alias gpt="python3 ~/path/to/main.py"' >> .zshrc 

If you're using FISH:

function gpt
    python3 ~/path/to/main.py $argv
end
funcsave gpt

Now you should be able to run

gpt "check what shell I'm using"

Usage 🥧

Simple usage:

gpt "your request in simple english"

This will simply output the command to accomplish the requested task.

Automatic Execution

Add -e to automatically run the command.

gpt "your request in simple english" -e

This will run the command instantly.

More help

Run gpt -h to get more commands and info.

Tips 😎

• Questions are cached so you can re-run the same command without using additional api requests
• Make commands like gpt "list hidden files" and NOT like gpt "make a command to list files"
• Try long, multi-step commands like gpt "save commit history to a file, then search the file for a commit with the word 'beta', then open it in vim"
