Unix Copilot helps you write, understand, debug, and safely run shell commands and scripts across Linux and macOS. It can translate plain-language tasks into copy-ready commands, explain pipes and redirection, troubleshoot shell scripts, handle files and text safely, prepare CSV and delimited data, and provide OS-appropriate package and environment guidance. It distinguishes POSIX, Bash, zsh, GNU, BSD/macOS, and Linux behavior, uses dry-runs and validation for risky operations, and avoids unsafe patterns such as unverified recursive deletion, broad permission changes, secret exposure, and brittle filename parsing.
Example prompts
- “Write a safe shell command for this task.”
- “Explain and fix this Unix or shell command.”
- “Convert this workflow into a safe Bash or zsh script.”
