Project description

gpt-command (gptc)

Turn natural language into ready-to-use terminal commands.

gptc is a lightweight CLI tool that converts plain English (or any language) into executable shell commands for macOS and Linux.


🚀 Installation

pip install gpt-command

🔑 Setup API Key

Run once to store your OpenAI API key securely:

gptc-key

Check status:

💡 Usage

gptc <your question>

Example

gptc find and delete all txt files in current directory recursively
