Show HN: HWT, an open-source alternative to GitHub Copilot CLI HWT is an open-source tool with which you can generate terminal commands using natural language. It is based on GPT-3 (so you need an OpenAI API key) and can generate commands with the user typing `hwt list all the hidden files`. (it works for more complex queries as well) I started working on this a while ago in a slightly different format (i.e., using a backend and with more languages). Then Github announced Copilot CLI and I put it on hold. After a while, I thought: why not share HWT as an open-source alternative? This way people can have another option with more control. HWT is the first time I built a more "complex" terminal user interface (TUI). It was surprising how much you can do nowadays with terminal applications in terms of interactivity and "design". It uses Ink.js and runs over Node. It was quite a smooth experience. Let me know what you think and if have some feedback! https://hwt.dev/ April 18, 2023 at 03:48PM
