Just give me the DAMN command

I don’t speak bash.
But I know what I want.

Just press Alt+D —
and get the damn command.

Minimalism for the linux shell.

What it does

Get the Linux command from a casual instruction.

How to use

Alt+D

Install

Dependencies

None.

Run this to install

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/EasternJournalist/damn/refs/heads/master/install.sh -o /tmp/install.sh && bash /tmp/install.sh && source ~/.bashrc

Get an API Key

You will need an API key to use the AI models.
If you don't have one, no worry. Gemini and Doubao offer free credits enough for daily damn.

Choose one of the following APIs and click the link to get an API key:

API Service	Default Model	Environment Variable Name
OpenAI GPT	gpt-4o-mini	OPENAI_API_KEY
Google Gemini	gemini-2.5-flash-preview-05-20	GEMINI_API_KEY
ByteDance Doubao	doubao-1-5-pro-32k-250115	DOUBAO_API_KEY

Then you can add the key to your ~/.bashrc file as a user environment variable, for example:

echo "export OPENAI_API_KEY=XXXX-XXXX-XXXX" >> ~/.bashrc; source ~/.bashrc

Similar to

• thefuck, but with AI.
• shell_gpt, but save your tokens for the most practical use.
