About
Butterfish Shell is a command-line tool that supercharges your existing shell (bash, zsh) with AI capabilities, similar to GitHub Copilot for the terminal. It seamlessly integrates OpenAI (or compatible) APIs to provide contextual AI assistance. Users can start prompts with a capital letter to ask questions, debug commands, or get suggestions, with the AI leveraging shell history for high-context help. Key features include GPT autosuggest for commands, a powerful 'Goal Mode' where an AI agent can execute commands to achieve a defined objective, and transparent, customizable prompts. Butterfish also offers various CLI utilities for summarizing files, generating commands, and managing embeddings. It's an open-source project designed to make command-line work more efficient and natural, without interrupting existing workflows.
