Fish is so great! I'm a user for 7 years. The autocomplete suggestions are so helpful!

However, since using Github Copilot I'm expecting a bit smarter suggestions. I wonder if anyone has tried putting a GPT-3 like engine behind command line autocomplete suggestions. Or maybe the Copilot team offer a sort of API for this.

Not GPT-3, but you may be interested in this: https://github.com/cantino/mcfly
Anybody on HN who's using this and wants to share their experience? It looks interesting, how does it compare against fish?
You can use it with fish. Here are a couple of previous threads on it:

I'll check out those threads, thanks!
Yup, right here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0UnS3jHhAA

I remember that I was able to replicate this last year, not 100% sure why I'm not using it daily tho. :D

One thing to note, the limited waitinglist he talks about in the video is done, and now you can sign up and "pay" for ~NLP~...ahem CLP tokens as OpenAI calls them

In VSCode you can have a notebook with shell functionality, there copilot works.
