z-cli

z-cli is an interactive ChatGPT-powered command line tool that generates commands using natural language.

🚀 Features

• Natural language query: Generates commands based on the user's natural language input.
• Runtime detection: Detects the user's shell (e.g. PowerShell, zsh, bash, etc.) and OS (e.g. Windows, Linux, and Mac) to ensure more accurate command generation.
• Context awareness: Allows the user to input follow-up queries to specify additional requirements.
• Command editing: Allows the user to manually refine the generated command before executing it.
• Command copy: Allows the user to copy the generated command to the clipboard.
