Convert natural language to bash commands using OpenAI Codex
$ gem install openai-please
Provide your OpenAI API key in an environment variable, or using the configuration file.
OPENAI_ACCESS_TOKEN=[YOUR ACCESS TOKEN HERE]
Type please, followed by an instruction written in natural language.
user@host:~$ please find all files larger than 1 mb
$ find . -type f -size +1M
Run the command? (enter "h" for help) [y,n,e,h]You can [e]dit the command before running it by pressing the 'e' key. This uses the command specified in the $EDITOR variable, or vi if no editor is set.
See please --help for more information.
You can modify the default configuration in ~/.config/please/config.yml.
send_pwd: false # default: true
send_ls: false # default: true
send_uname: true # default: true
access_token: ... # default: $OPENAI_ACCESS_TOKEN
examples: # default: []
- instruction: Run my super secret command
command: /super/secret/command
- instruction: Show git status
command: git status
execute: true # default: false
skip_default_examples: true # default: falseAny examples listed here will be added to the prompt in the following form.
# INSTRUCTION
$ COMMAND
[RESULT, if execute is set to true]
If execute is set to true, the command will be executed prior to sending the request and the result will be included in the prompt. This is useful for providing dynamic context which the AI can use to inform completions.
Do not include the default set of examples in the prompt. You can see the full prompt by running please --show-prompt.
Note: This option does not automatically imply send_*: false. To remove all examples from the prompt other than those explicitly specified, use this option in combination with the send_*: false options.
By default, the result of each of the following commands is sent to OpenAI Codex to improve the relevance of completions.
pwduname -als -a
This behaviour can be disabled using the configuration options described above. You can review the prompt before sending it to OpenAI by running please --show-prompt.
