CLI Genie

CLI Genie is a tool that assists users in writing CLI commands using their native language through OpenAI's GPT-3 API.

To put it simply, CLI Genie helps users who are not comfortable with writing commands in English to do so using their preferred language. By utilizing OpenAI's GPT-3 API, CLI Genie can provide accurate and relevant commands based on the user's request. It is important to note, however, that as with any software that uses machine learning or AI, there may be limitations and potential errors.

The CLI Genie is powered by OpenAI's advanced language model called gpt-3.5-turbo. It performs similarly to text-davinci-003 but is 10% cheaper per token.

The Key Features

  1. Support for native language input

    • User input in their native language is understood and processed.
  2. OS and version awareness

    • Appropriate CLI commands are suggested based on the user's operating system and version.
  3. Similar command recommendations

    • If no appropriate command is found, similar commands with the same intent are recommended.

Installation

Requirements

  • git
  • Java 11 or higher
  • OpenAI API key

Linux and Mac

git clone https://github.com/JM-Lab/cli-genie.git
cd cli-genie
./gradlew install
sudo cp bin/cg /usr/local/bin
export OPENAI_API_KEY=[your key]
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Windows

git clone https://github.com/JM-Lab/cli-genie.git
cd cli-genie
.\gradlew.bat install
copy bin\cg.bat C:\Windows\System32
set OPENAI_API_KEY=[your key]
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

OpenAI API key

To use CLI Genie, you need to obtain the OPENAI_API_KEY from https://platform.openai.com and set it as an environment variable before the first run. The key will be stored in [USER HOME]/.cg/openai-api-key and used for subsequent runs.

Usage

You can run CLI Genie by using the cg (short for CLI Genie). Available commands can be input in the user's mother
tongue.
The usage of the cg command is as follows:

cg [instructions in mother tongue]
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
