Shell command generator
Quickly generate and explain complex shell commands Hi everyone, as I spent a substantial amount of time in the console, even today, i sometimes need to think of some complex combination of git/find/ffmpeg/xargs and friends and so i've been using https://github.com/kagisearch/ask for some time. Since it appears to be unmaintained i started my own version (yes, thanks to some LLMs work) and i am quite happy with it. It appears to have gained a lot more features than i initially thought but there it is. My personal highlights are: - can install shortcuts for bash/fish/zsh for pressing CTRL-W and having the current prompt replaced with the "answer" $ find all images in this directory becomes $ find . -type f \( -iname '*.jpg' -o -iname '*.jpeg' -o -iname '*.png' -o -iname '*.gif' -o -iname '*.bmp' -o -iname '*.webp' -o -iname '*.svg' -o -iname '*.tiff' \) in 1-2 seconds. - there is also a review TUI that explains the commands (which can become complex) or retries with another model In any case, it's open source, maybe someone else will find it useful as well.
