Your Intelligent CLI Assistant for Bash
QUICK START
bash-helper ask "find large files" # Ask a question
bash-helper category files # Browse by category
bash-helper explain "tar -czf" # Explain a command
MODES
Natural Language Queries:
ask "query" Ask in natural language
task "description" Describe what you want to do
Browse & Explore:
category NAME Browse by category (files/text/network/system)
explain "command" Explain what a command does
Direct Lookup:
COMMAND [FILTER] Show flags for command (e.g., ls size)
-i, --interactive Interactive fzf mode
-l, --list List all commands
...
2. Natural Language Queries
Query: "find large files"
$ bash-helper ask "find large files"
Output:
Searching for: "find large files"
Found 5 matches:
1. Find files larger than 100MB
find . -type f -size +100M -exec ls -lh {} \;
2. Find files by name pattern
find . -name "*.txt"
3. Find duplicate files by content
find . -type f -exec md5sum {} + | sort | uniq -w32 -dD
4. List files sorted by size (largest first)
ls -lhS
5. Find and replace text in files
sed -i 's/old/new/g' file.txt
Tip: Use more specific keywords to narrow results
Query: "symlink" (Single Result - Full Details)
$ bash-helper ask "symlink"
Output:
Searching for: "symlink"
