Shellper is a Python command-line tool that leverages the power of OpenAI's GPT language model to help you find the right Linux shell commands while you are using the command line.
For now, the only way to use shellper is to clone this repository and install via pip:
git clone https://github.com/miguelfmc/shellper-ai.git
cd shellper-ai
pip install .I will make the package available on PyPI shortly!
Before using Shellper AI, you will need to set up an OpenAI API key as an environment variable. You can do this by adding the following line to your shell configuration file (e.g. .bashrc, .zshrc, etc.):
export OPENAI_API_KEY=YOUR_API_KEYReplace YOUR_API_KEY with your actual OpenAI API key. If you don't have an API key yet, you can sign up for OpenAI to get one.
To get started with Shellper AI, simply run the shellper command followed by your natural language command.
shellper "Remove all JPG files older than 1 month from the tmp folder"You can also specify the number of options you want GPT-3.5 to retrieve for you using the optional argument --num
shellper "Remove all JPG files older than 1 month from the tmp folder" --num 3This is just a toy example that I built quickly to play around with OpenAI's API and GPT models, so expect it to be hacky!
