Natural Language to Bash

This script transforms natural language input into bash commands, allowing you to interact with your terminal more intuitively. Powered by OpenAI's GPT API.

Requirements

• curl for making API requests
• jq for parsing JSON responses
• pbcopy for copying output to clipboard (optional)
• OpenAI API key

Setup

1. Add your OPENAI_API_KEY to environment variables (e.g. in your .bashrc or .zshrc).
2. Make sure the script executable: chmod +x /path/to/how.sh.
3. Make link to the script: ln -s /path/to/how.sh /usr/local/bin/how

Usage

Type how in your terminal followed by a question or command. The script will return a bash command:

# in your terminal:
how to find the biggest file in current directory

# output:
find . -type f -exec du -h {} + | sort -rh | head -n 1

# output is also copied to clipboard
# paste and run it with `Cmd + V` and `Enter`
