Shell Genie is a new Linux command line tool that can be used to ask in plain English how to perform various tasks, and it gives you the shell command you need

Linux command line shell screen showing plain English description typed in, and Shell Genie returning the suggested syntax to execute it

To generate the commands, it uses OpenAI’s GPT-3 or Free Genie, a free to use backend provided by the Shell Genie developer.

Once Shell Genie shows a command, it will ask if you want to run it. Make sure you understand the command before doing that! You could use something like Explain Shell to understand what the command does. Also, it’s probably best you only use this for queries / commands that can’t break things on your computer. Not all commands will work as expected, so use this at your own risk!
