CliGPT

Streamline your terminal experience by generating Linux commands from natural language queries, reducing the need to leave the terminal for manual web searches.

Demo

Setup

chmod +x install.sh
./install.sh

This will create a symbolic link for CliGPT in the ${HOME}/.local/bin directory, making it accessible system-wide.

If a previous version is already installed, the symbolic link will be updated.

I might tweak the prompt in this repository from time to time.

You might want to tweak it too and suggest changes through a Pull Request.

Essential Configuration: OPENAI_API_KEY and cligpt Alias

To ensure proper functionality, including the ability to retrieve the last run command from your shell history, you must set the OPENAI_API_KEY environment variable and create an alias for running cligpt.

You can do so by running:

export OPENAI_API_KEY="<your key here>"
alias cligpt="source $HOME/.local/bin/cligpt"

Or by adding the above command to your shell .rc file, or whatever other environment variable setup you prefer.

Run

cligpt <linux related question>

You will be asked to confirm if you want to run the command or not, no need to copy and paste it.
