Natural language to bash translation
The cw ai
command lets you write a natural language instruction such as
“copy all files in my current directory to Amazon S3”. CodeWhisperer will then translate it to an
instantly executable shell code snippet. The cw ai
command is useful in those common situations where the correct bash

commit, finding strings inside files with
grep
, or compressing files with tar
.
