ccline: AI answers at the zsh prompt — built for lazygit-type users

[jianshuo]

Hey lazygit community! 🐙

If you use lazygit, you've already decided that powerful, keyboard-driven terminal workflows are worth investing in. 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's not 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.

$ git find all commits that touched a specific file
→ git log --all --full-history -- path/to/file
→ [press Enter to run]

$ show which branches have been merged into main
→ git branch --merged main
→ [press Enter to run]

$ undo last commit but keep the changes staged
→ git reset --soft HEAD~1
→ [press Enter to run]

No mode switch. No new window. Just type your git question at the zsh prompt.

Why it works for lazygit users

Lazygit covers the TUI workflow beautifully. But complex or unusual git operations (bisect, reflog, worktrees, submodules) sometimes need a command you haven't memorized. ccline fills that gap — quick AI answers without leaving your terminal flow.
