Installation

Install this plugin in the same environment as LLM.

llm install llm-cmd-comp

Then install the shell integration for your preferred shell.

• Fish: place share/llm-cmd-comp.fish in ~/.config/fish/conf.d/.
• Zsh: source share/llm-cmd-comp.zsh in your ~/.zshrc.
• Bash: source share/llm-cmd-comp.bash in your ~/.bashrc.

Usage

1. Start typing a command.
2. Activate the key binding (Alt-Backslash by default).
3. Wait for the LLM to complete the command.
4. Press enter if you are happy. Otherwise give feedback on the command and repeat from step 3.
5. The LLM's command replaces the previous command you were writing.

Neat ways you can use this feature:

• Type a command in English, convert it to bash.
  find all files larger than 100MB
  🪄 find . -type f -size +100M
• Give extra instructions as comments.
  sed -i '' 's/search/replace/g' file.go # Now do it for all go files in the project
  🪄 find . -name '*.go' -exec sed -i '' 's/search/replace/g' {} +
