A powerful shell that's powered by a locally running LLM

llamashell

llamashell is a powerful shell that's powered by a locally running LLM. We have tested it with Llama 3.2, Qwen 2.5, and Gemma 3.

Features

• Interactive Shell: Execute standard shell commands like cd, ls, and more, with support for pipes (|), input redirection (<), and output redirection (> or >>).
• LLM Integration: Interact with an LLM (default: meta-llama/Llama-3.2-1B-Instruct) for assistance using the -- prefix (e.g., -- write me an inspirational quote).
• Command History: Persistent command history stored in ~/.llamashell_history.
• Chat Log Management: Save and view LLM conversation logs with commands like --save-chat-logs and --view-chat-logs.
• File Operations: Read files into the LLM context with --read <filename> and save individual LLM responses with --save <filename>.
• Auto-Completion: Basic command and file auto-completion for a smoother user experience.
• Cross-Platform: Supports GPU acceleration (CUDA/MPS) and CPU fallback for broad compatibility.
