HeyCLI - your copilot for Linux commands

HeyCLI is a Linux command assistant that translates natural language into Linux commands. If you find yourself forgetting common commands, you can trigger HeyCLI by starting your request with the word “hey” and then describe what you want to do. It’s currently in preview and aimed at helping users quickly generate accurate commands from everyday language.

How to Use HeyCLI

1. Speak in natural language prefixed with “hey”. Example: "hey, list all files including hidden ones in long format".
2. Review the generated command. HeyCLI will provide the corresponding Linux command(s) you can run.
3. Run or refine. Copy the command into your terminal. If you need adjustments, rephrase and try again.

Try it out by following the instructions in the GitHub repository associated with HeyCLI.
