Turn natural language into ready-to-use terminal commands

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 (Required)

Run once to configure your API key and enable shell integration::

gptc-key

This will:

  • Store your OpenAI API key securely
  • Automatically install shell integration (zsh or bash)
  • Detect your current shell and update the correct rc file

After setup, apply changes:

source ~/.zshrc
# or
source ~/.bashrc

Check status:

gptc-key --status

Set default model (optional):

gptc-key --model gpt-5.4-nano

💡 Usage

gptc <your question>

Example

gptc find and delete all txt files in current directory recursively

Output:

find . -type f -name "*.txt" -delete

Then it will automatically prefill your terminal input:

~/current/path$ find . -type f -name "*.txt" -delete

⚠️ The command is NOT executed automatically.
