Overview

Bito CLI (Command Line Interface)

Bito CLI (Command Line Interface) is an innovative tool that harnesses the power of Bito AI chat functionality to automate software development workflows. It can automate repetitive tasks like software documentation, test case generation, pull request review, release notes generation, writing commit message or pull request description, and much more.

For example, you can run a command like bito –p writedocprompt.txt -f mycode.js for non-interactive mode in Bito CLI (where writedocprompt.txt will contain your prompt text such as Explain the code below in brief and mycode.js will contain the actual code on which the action is to be performed).

Here is the complete list of available commands for Bito CLI.

Download Bito CLI from GitHub:

GitHub - gitbito/CLI: Bito CLI (Command Line Interface) provides a command line interface to the Bito AI chat functionality. Over time, CLI will add more functions and new command options to support complex automation and workflows. This is a very early Alpha version. We would love to get your feedback on the new features or improvements.GitHub

With support for 50+ programming languages (Python, JavaScript, SQL, etc.) and 50+ spoken languages (English, German, Chinese, etc.), Bito CLI is versatile and adaptable to different project needs. Furthermore, it's designed to be compatible across multiple operating systems, including Windows, Mac, and Linux, ensuring a wide range of usability.

You can either use "ADVANCED" AI models like GPT-4o, Claude Sonnet 3.5, and best in class AI models, or "BASIC" AI models like GPT-4o mini and similar models inside Bito CLI.

When using Basic AI models, your prompts and the chat's memory are limited to 40,000 characters (about 18 single-spaced pages). However, with Advanced AI models, your prompts and the chat memory can go up to 240,000 characters (about 110 single-spaced pages). This means that Advanced models can process your entire code files, leading to more accurate answers.

If you are seeking the best results for complex tasks, then choose Advanced AI models.

Access to Advanced AI models is only available in Bito's Team Plan. However, Basic AI models can be used by both free and paid users.

Bito CLI is an invaluable asset for developers looking to increase efficiency and productivity in their workflows. It allows developers to save time and focus on more complex and creative aspects of their work. Additionally, Bito CLI plays a crucial role in supporting continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD) processes. Explore some intelligent AI automations we've created using Bito CLI, which you can implement in your projects right now. These automations showcase the powerful capabilities of Bito CLI.
