> It should tell you the commands first rather than just executing them. From the videos, I believe you have to press Enter to actually execute the suggested command. > why the example video only shows PowerShell too The readme did say that it was inspired by a similar project targetting zsh[0], so I don't see why over time the model couldn't improve to suggest what you want.

Shell plugin I wrote writes your Git commands

This shell plugin I wrote turns out to be really good at writing git commands. The git commands below are AI generated from the comments. ``` printcon-ml git:(master) # show the date the file fastai_main.py was first added to the repo git log --diff-filter=A --follow --format="%ad" --date=short -- fastai_main.py printcon-ml git:(master) # show the commit before the 2021-12-04 git log --before=2021-12-04 printcon-ml git:(develop) # show all git branches and their creation dates git for-each-ref --sort=-committerdate --format='%(refname:short), %(committerdate:short)' refs/heads/ develop, 2022-04-28 multiprocessing_manager, 2022-04-28 master, 2022-01-11 plotting_upgrade, 2022-01-04 image_samples, 2022-01-03 label_output, 2021-10-12 percentages_output, 2021-08-10 add_model_argument, 2021-08-10 model_9, 2021-08-05 model_7, 2021-08-05
