Yolo: Natural Language to Shell Commands with ChatGPT API
Summary
Yolo is a tool that uses ChatGPT API (OpenAI's language model accessed through code) to translate natural language questions into shell commands (the text-based interface for controlling a computer) that can be executed automatically. The tool helps users who forget command syntax by converting plain English requests into proper bash, zsh, or PowerShell commands, with a safety feature that shows the command before running it unless the user enables automatic execution.
