The gpt-shell.py script is a robust Python command-line interface that harnesses the power of OpenAI’s GPT models to offer insightful suggestions for Linux shell commands. Whether you input a specific command or describe a task, the application will generate an appropriate command as interpreted by the selected GPT model.

Leveraging modules like openai, tiktoken, and prompt_toolkit, the script communicates with the chosen GPT model through the OpenAI API and enhances user interaction. For the script to function, an API key, set as an environment variable, is a necessity.

Designed for terminal environment operation, this script provides a user-friendly system prompt for input. It shines in its ability to consolidate multi-step commands into a single-line command. In addition, it includes an analysis of the command’s output performed by the GPT model, providing a comprehensive execution explanation along with the suggested command.
