gbash - Gen-AI based linux shell

Learning all the bash commands can sometimes be a pain for someone new.

• Wouldn't it be nice if we could use Gemini to translate natural language into something linux would understand ?
• This project is a very tiny proof of concept
• It takes instructions in natural language and converts it into something which could be run on linux
• Note : This is really a Proof-of-concept. It will run commands Gemini tells it to, so please do not run on product infrastructure.

To use this please set the environment variable API_KEY to your Gemini API key.
You can find your Gemini key at https://aistudio.google.com/app/apikey

Setup Step 1 - install "google.generativeai" (one time only)
   pip3 install google.generativeai

Setup Step 2 -  setup your key in your environment variable (every time u use shell, or put it in your .bashrc script)
   API_KEY='API KEY HERE'
   export API_KEY

- Once done you can do this to setup
   python3 gbash.py "Please count the total number of processes on this system"

$ python3 gbash.py "Please check and tell if the webserver on this server is operating correctly. "
