CodeWhisperer on the Command Line

— CodeWhisperer is a general purpose code generator powered by Machine Learning. It provides real time code recommendations as you code. You’re most likely to have encountered it in an IDE like VS Code. CodeWhisperer now also works for a selection of 500+ CLI tools. When you type a command (like cd, git or aws) in your terminal, CodeWhisperer will display a list of sub-commands, options and arguments. It’s not going to replace man pages, but it will definitely increase your CLI productivity.
