Unix Copilot

ChatGPT plugin

Safe shell commands & scripts

View in ChatGPT directory

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.
