dtnewman/zev: A simple CLI tool to help you remember terminal commands

Zev helps you remember (or discover) terminal commands using natural language.

This project runs on top of the OpenAI API. After your first time running it, you will be prompted to enter an OpenAI key.

# Find running processes
zev 'show all running python processes'

# File operations
zev 'find all .py files modified in the last 24 hours'

# System information
zev 'show disk usage for current directory'

# Network commands
zev 'check if google.com is reachable'

# Git operations
zev 'show uncommitted changes in git'

You can update your OpenAI API key or other settings by running:

To use the OpenAI key, you must have an OpenAI account and a subscription. You can create an API key on this page.

You can use Zev with Ollama as an alternative to OpenAI, which lets you run all commands locally. To set this up:

1. Install and start Ollama with a model of your choice

2. Run zev --setup and put in the proper settings. For example:

Enter your OpenAI API key:
Enter your OpenAI base URL: http://localhost:11434/v1
Enter your OpenAI model: llama3.2
