I Realized I Spend 30% of My Terminal Time in Chrome Tabs

The Problem Every Developer Faces


Scene: It's 2 AM, you need to find all files modified in the last week, and you're staring at the terminal cursor blinking mockingly.

We've all been there. You KNOW there's a command for this. You've used it before. But is it find . -mtime -7 or find . -mtime +7? Or was it -ctime?

Off to Google again.

What I'm Building


GCLI (coming soon) bridges the gap between knowing what you want and remembering the syntax.

Instead of:

• Googling "linux find files modified last week"
• Scrolling through Stack Overflow answers
• Testing commands on dummy files first

You type:
gcli "show me files modified in the past week"

You get:
find . -mtime -7 -type f
Finds files (-type f) modified within the last 7 days (-mtime -7)

Why Not Just Use ChatGPT?


Fair question! But:

• ChatGPT might give you a 200-word explanation when you need a quick command
• It's not optimized for CLI-specific tasks
• You have to context-switch to a browser/app
• Commands need to be safe and tested

GCLI is built specifically for this use case.

The Commands You'll Never Google Again

• "compress this directory"
• "show disk usage by folder"
• "kill process on port 8080"
• "create symbolic link"
• "change file permissions recursively"
• "show git commits from last month"
