You - Your Optimized UNIX, but also supports Windows

you is a command-line tool that translates natural language instructions into executable shell commands, making command-line operations more accessible and intuitive.

Features

• Natural Language Command Execution: Type what you want to do in plain English, or any other natural language you prefer, and let the AI figure out the exact commands
• Interactive Workflow: Review suggested commands before execution
• Error Handling: When commands fail, the AI automatically suggests fixes based on error messages
• Semi-Autonomous Operation: The AI handles the technical details while keeping you in control

Installation

cargo install you

Usage

Run a command described in natural language:

you run "find all large text files in my home directory"

The tool will:

1. Process your request through an LLM
2. Suggest appropriate command(s)
3. Ask for your confirmation before execution
4. Handle any errors by suggesting corrections

Examples

# Recall commands that you had forgotten
you run "check out what has been imported in this Rust project"

# Don't know what to look after?
you run "how many cores does this system have?"

# Even open up a SSH terminal for you
you run "open a new window with an SSH terminal to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx as root"

Tips

• So far as I tested, you works well with a small model called smollm2 and its smallest version, 135m.
• You may also use ollama with any open source model you want for free.

Workflow

1. Type your request in natural language
2. Review the suggested command(s)
3. Type 'y' to execute or provide additional guidance/clarification
4. If there's an error, the AI will automatically suggest a corrected command

Why Use You?

• Reduces Mental Load: No need to remember complex command syntax
• Safer Command Execution: Review commands before they run
• Learning Tool: See how your natural language request translates to actual commands
• Productivity Booster: Accomplish complex tasks with simple instructions
• Interactive Learning: Learn new commands and techniques through interactive feedback
