Ya, cool name, but worse privacy than gorilla, more awkward than llm.sh and why would I ever get the Microsoft version of something I can get elsewhere without the worry that I'm about to be devoured by a corporate anglerfish.

Did you check the page? It's MIT-licensed and isn't about GPT or text generation. It's Intellisense, for the shell.
then what makes it better than withfig/autocomplete?
I downloaded fig, then immediately deleted it after it requested way too much access to my github account to even start. So... that's a big thing.
And this will deter me from ~~ever~~ trying Fig. :/
> it requested way too much access to my github account

Can you be more specific? Been a while since I installed it but I don't remember this part. It's not even listed as an "Authorized GitHub App"

It is withfig/autocomplete. The only difference from their runtime is that this gives results directly in the console, instead of using a graphical overlay. I believe that means you could use this in an SSH session.
It's available for Linux and Windows.
That’s what it’s based on.
