NO MORE Bash Scripts! Use ChatGPT + Fig Instead!

Signups on fig are currently unavailable

not available for linux or windows

This is an awesome terminal plugin - I was thinking of taking a component in Angular - and be able to repurpose it for other components by changing classname, filenames, and dependencies links.

10/10 video Jimbo. Much love

[@JamesQQuick]

THANKS!

It does look interesting, but why wouldn't you just run `killall node` ? assuming a Node process. Or just use lsof to find what is running on that port and then kill it? Or even if ChatGPT gives you the script, just add it to your bashrc as a function? Then instead of running `fig run kill-process-at-port ` and entering 3000 you just run `kill-process-at-port 3000` Which seems simpler to me, unless I'm missing something?

[@JamesQQuick]

You could certainly do any of those things. I just think this provides a cleaner more intuitive way to create, manage, and use scripts. I don't use them on a regular basis, so this abstracts things that I don't really care about in a nice way.

[@FlorianBinder]

I'm using fig for some time now. It is really good. Especially I love the autocomplete feature when I'm typing. I have not yet used the script feature, but will do! 🙂

[@JamesQQuick]

It's so good!

[@Kunta_Y17]

Looks like FIG was bought by AWS. Is there a sign up fee or are we going to be charged for using it ?

[@alyssaholland2400]

I've always wanted to create a bash script for setting up a new computer (i.e. managing dotfiles, installing apps via Homebrew, etc.) but haven't gotten around to it. I'm a big fan of Fig so I'm hoping that I can leverage this new AI feature to assist with that process!

[@JamesQQuick]

Yeah! Check it out and let me know what you think!

[@Jsmenzies]

Home manager with Nix is the ideal setup for this... but I haven't finished setting mine up yet

[@willadams6217]

I use git and gnu stow for this, which works well.

[@tacticalcenter8658]

Bash scripts are not difficult like you suggest in the first min.

[@christopheanfry]

Really really, REALLY cool!!! I suppose it works with zsh?

[@JamesQQuick]

Yep, that's what I'm using :)

[@daveqr]

Fig is sunsetting

[@RajaKajiev]

Yeah, use scripts maed by AI trained on the flawed examples from SO is like sending your password in plain text over http - it worked fine for some time a while ago but then... :)

[@JamesQQuick]

Good point. Definitely need to do some vetting.

[@box4soumendu4ever]

I love you SIR 🎉❤😊

[@MarkConstable]

You forgot to mention that it is NOT open source and the free version is deliberately crippled.

[@JamesQQuick]

I'm confused. It's important to specifically call out whether or not EVERY SINGLE tool we ever use is open source? And be deliberately crippled, do you mean an actual product that has to make money like everything else. Then, sure

[@MarkConstable]

@@JamesQQuick Yes please. If you at least mention, or "call out" how really "free" some project, or product in this case, is, then it would save some of us from wasting time getting excited about something we cannot use. I have absolutely no interest in vendor lock-in and would appreciate a heads-up on that status.

[@ICanLevitate]

This is a really weird expectation.

[@ChristianKolbow]

@@MarkConstable So you only use open-source software?

[@MarkConstable]

@@ICanLevitate I only use open source software, so I guess I am quite the weird one then.

[@beerbuffet1222]

Dang 🍺🍻

[@JamesQQuick]

Super cool right?!

[@j8ge]

AI will appear wherever humans need it in the near future

[@mrbuddhu]

:)

[@konung5]

Yeah, storing my scripts that deal with internal data and customer information in the "cloud" is exactly what I wanted always to do /sarcasm

[@JamesQQuick]

If it doesn't work for you, fair enough
