Cool! Recommendations for something similar on zsh?
j4cobgarby•3w ago
I just tried it out, nice! It's a useful tool, but the installation process didn't work for me following the steps as written. As it stands:

* The shellock directory must be in ~/Downloads, otherwise the shellock_bindings.fish fails to source it.

* The installation script in the repo didn't work because it tried to symlink shellock_bindings.fish without specifying an absolute path (`~/.config/fish/conf.d/shellock_bindings.fish -> ./shellock_bindings.fish`) -> caused a recursive symlink which broke.

Now I got it working by making sure to place shellock in Downloads (not ideal long term, I often clear my Downloads folder), and manually symlinking the bindings explicitly. It seems to work pretty well!

j4cobgarby•3w ago
Playing around with a bit more, I think the tool might not be suitable for my use cases. If I try it with the command `gcc -Wall` it thinks that each of W, a, l, (and l), are separate single-character arguments, and therefore fails badly:

``` > gcc -Wall -W Unknown flag -a Unknown flag -l Search the library named library when linking. (The second alternative with the library as a separate argument is only for POSIX compliance and is not recom... ```

Additionally, it is really slow, I suppose because gcc has a huge man page? It is really useful for lots of small commands like ls and find, and things where I often forget parameters. Maybe it could be changed so that I can whitelist only certain commands to trigger the hints?

elcapitan•3w ago
Or it could cache the parsed manpages or reuse the information that fish already extracts from there for autocompletion?
behnamoh•3w ago
I do use caching on the first trigger of a flag. Maybe I'll add a comprehensive manpage "reading" on the first install to speed things up.
elcapitan•3w ago
That makes sense, or something like `fish_update_completions` that you can call explicitly.
behnamoh•3w ago
That also makes sense! I'll think of a good strategy based on these comments and push to main.
esseph•3w ago
From the website:

Known Limitations

    Some commands with unusual man page formats may not parse correctly
    Commands that open interactive help (like git commit --help opening a pager) require man page fallback
    Combined short flags like -rf are split into individual flags
behnamoh•3w ago
Thanks for your feedback. I'll definitely work on these and update shellock!

Update: I pushed the changes. Please let me know if you find any other bugs!

witherk•3w ago
Nice, I tried looking for something like this but never found anything. Glad to see someone working on it.
jnovacho•3w ago
There is https://explainshell.com/ not in terminal but should do the trick.
elcapitan•3w ago
Looks like a cool idea - what does it do with more complicated commands, e.g. two commands with a pipe? Does it pick the last part of the pipe?
TacticalCoder•3w ago
I read the title too quickly and thought that 12 years later shellshock was making a come back!
Bost•3w ago
There's nothing wrong with your reading. It's a misleading, clickbaity name at best.
Ferret7446•3w ago
I feel like the end for such a tool is fast approaching, as a local model that can figure out all of the correct flags and arguments for anything you want to do, whilst allowing you to examine the command before running and cite all relevant sources if you want, is quickly becoming viable. I wouldn't be surprised if this already exists.
