ccline: AI at the zsh prompt — complement to terminal tools like delta

[jianshuo]

Hey delta community! 📊

Delta users clearly care about their terminal experience enough to configure a custom diff viewer. I built something in that spirit.

It's ccline — AI at your zsh prompt.

What it does

ccline hijacks zsh's command_not_found_handler. Type something that isn't a real command — plain English, a question, a description — and it asks Claude AI right in your terminal. Answer renders as Markdown. Press Enter to run suggested commands.

$ show only files changed between two branches
→ git diff --name-only branch1..branch2
→ [press Enter to run]

$ diff two files ignoring whitespace
→ diff -w file1 file2 | delta
→ [press Enter to run]

$ show what changed in the last commit
→ git show HEAD
→ [press Enter to run]

Quick answers, right at the prompt.
