@builder.io/ai-shell

AI Shell

A CLI that converts natural lagnuage to shell commands.

Inspired by Gitbhub Copilot X CLI, but open source for everyone.

Setup

The minimum supported version of Node.js is v14

1. Install ai shell:

   npm install -g @builder.io/ai-shell
   

2. Retrieve your API key from OpenAI

   Note: If you haven't already, you'll have to create an account and set up billing.

3. Set the key so ai-shell can use it:

   ai-shell config set OPENAI_KEY=<your token>
   

   This will create a .ai-shell file in your home directory.

Usage

?ai <prompt>

For example:

?ai list all log files

Then you will get an output like this, where you can choose to run the suggested command, revise the command via a prompt, or cancel:

◇  Your script:
│
│  find . -name "*.log"
│
◇  Explanation:
│
│  1. Searches for all files with the extension ".log" in the current directory and any subdirectories.
│
◆  Run this script?
│  ● ✅ Yes (Lets go!)
│  ○ 📝 Revise
│  ○ ❌ Cancel

Upgrading

Check the installed version with:

ai-shell --version

If it's not the latest version, run:

npm update -g @builder.io/ai-shell
