Instant shell script solutions from AI right in your prompt.
aish
is a single file shell script for getting one-liner solutions from AI right into your terminal where you need them.
It asks OpenAI for a one-liner solution to your problem, shows it to you, and inserts it into your history if you confirm.
Once it's in your history you can press "up" and then run or edit the one-liner as you like.
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/chr15m/aish/main/aish > ~/bin/aish && chmod 755 ~/bin/aish
Then you can simply run aish
to get started:
. aish show me which process is running on port 8000
Make sure you set the environment variable OPENAI_API_KEY
to your OpenAI API key.
You can add the key to ~/.aish
if it's not in your environment already. See the configure section below for details.
By default aish
will detect your current shell and OS and ask the AI for solutions for that combination but this can be configured.
