# nlsh > A command-line tool that translates natural language into shell commands using AI. nlsh is a command-line interface tool that converts natural language descriptions into executable shell commands using AI. It enables developers and system administrators to interact with their terminal using plain English, eliminating the need to memorize complex command syntax or search through documentation. The tool leverages AI models to understand user intent and generate appropriate shell commands, making terminal operations more accessible and efficient. Users simply describe what they want to accomplish, and nlsh translates that into the correct command. - **Natural Language Processing** - Type what you want to do in plain English, and nlsh converts it into the appropriate shell command, reducing the learning curve for complex CLI operations. - **AI-Powered Translation** - Uses advanced AI models to understand context and intent, generating accurate shell commands based on natural language input. - **Interactive Mode** - Provides an interactive experience where users can refine their requests and get immediate command suggestions. - **Cross-Platform Support** - Works across different operating systems and shell environments, adapting commands to the user's specific system. - **Command Execution** - Option to directly execute generated commands or review them before running, giving users full control over their terminal operations. To get started with nlsh, install it via npm or your preferred package manager. Once installed, simply run nlsh followed by your natural language description of the task you want to accomplish. The tool will generate the corresponding shell command, which you can then execute or modify as needed. nlsh is particularly useful for developers who work with multiple systems and need to quickly recall commands, system administrators managing complex infrastructure, and anyone looking to streamline their command-line workflow without memorizing extensive command syntax. ## Features - Natural language to shell command translation - AI-powered command generation - Interactive command-line interface - Command preview before execution - Cross-platform compatibility ## Platforms WINDOWS, MACOS, LINUX ## Pricing Open Source ## Links - Website: https://www.nlsh.dev - Documentation: https://github.com/junaid-mahmood/nlsh - Repository: https://github.com/junaid-mahmood/nlsh - EveryDev.ai: https://www.everydev.ai/tools/nlsh
