supersed 0.3.8

An LLM powered super CLI

supersed

supersed is a natural language-powered file editor that leverages LLMs to perform various file manipulations on txt or txt-like files based on user instructions. Simplify your workflow by managing and editing your text files using plain English commands. No more googling for the right commands!

Features

• Natural Language Editing: Modify text files using simple English commands.
• Backup and Restore: Automatically backup files before making changes and restore them if needed.
• Flexible File Targeting: Specify individual files or use patterns to target multiple files, including those in subdirectories.
• Cross-Platform Compatibility: Works seamlessly on both Linux and macOS systems.

Installation

1. Use PyPI package: If you simply want to use supersed, install it from PyPI using.

   pip install supersed
   

2. Clone the Repository: If you would like to contribute to supersed, consider cloning the github directory.

   git clone https://github.com/akcanuv/supersed.git
   cd supersed
   pip install -e .
   

3. Set Up OpenAI API Key: Obtain your OpenAI API Key from OpenAI and set it as an environment variable:

• Linux/macOS: export OPENAI_API_KEY='your-api-key-here'
• Windows (Command Prompt): set OPENAI_API_KEY=your-api-key-here
• Windows (PowerShell): $env:OPENAI_API_KEY="your-api-key-here" Note that running the above command sets the API key as environment variables only temporarily. To set it permanently, add the statement to .bashrc, .zshrc or any other shell config file for the shell you're using.

3. Save Current File Versions to Backup:

supersed save

supersed restore

Backup and Restore

• Backup: Before executing any changes, supersed automatically backs up the target files to a .backup directory. To manually update the backup, use the save command.
• Restore: If you need to revert changes, use the restore command to retrieve the original files from the .backup directory.

Notes

• File Patterns: Use glob patterns to specify target files. For recursive searches, use patterns like **/*.txt.
• Safety: Always ensure you have backups of important files. Use the save command to create a new backup point after satisfactory changes.
