✨ glab-duo-ask — the manual, but make it cute ✨

okay bestie, so this is a page from the glab(1) manual — yeah, the GitLab CLI one 💅 — and today we're deep-diving glab-duo-ask. It's giving "I forgot the git command AGAIN" energy, and honestly? Same. Let's go 🫶

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

glab-duo-ask — generate Git commands from natural language. fr fr, you just talk to it and it hands you git 🪄

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

glab duo ask  [flags]

(yes there are two spaces there, she's just like that, iconic behaviour, we don't question her 💅)

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Generate Git commands from natural language using AI assistance. ✨

So here's the vibe: you describe what you wanna do in plain language, and GitLab Duo (Classic) suggests the appropriate Git commands for you. And because it's a good bestie, you don't just get the commands — you get an explanation too. Like, context? We love her for that.

Once you've got your suggested commands, you can run them directly from the CLI. But listen — you must confirm each command before it runs. No auto-send, no chaos, no "oops I just force-pushed main" 😭 she makes you double-check. Boundaries! Healthy!

Use this command when you wanna:

• Retrieve forgotten Git commands. (the classic "wait what was it again" moment 🧠)
• Learn how to accomplish specific Git operations. (we're all students here 📚)
• Get guidance on complex Git workflows. (main character energy for real 🔥)
• Reduce context switching during development. (stay in your terminal, stay in your lane, slay 💅)

---

💖 OPTIONS 💖

• --git[=true] — ask a question about Git. That's it, that's the one. 🐙

---

🔮 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 🔮

• -h, --help[=false] — show help for this command. Your lil emergency button, always there, always reliable 🎀

---

🌈 EXAMPLE 🌈

# Explain how to display the titles of the last 10 commits
$ glab duo ask how to list last 10 commit titles

# Explain how to undo the last commit
$ glab duo ask how do I undo my last commit

# Explain how to display files changed in the last commit
$ glab duo ask show me files changed in the last commit

Not me reading these and going "oh THAT'S how you undo a commit" 🙈 every single time. It's giving tutor, it's giving notes app, it's giving academic weapon ✨

quick reminder bestie: each command you get suggested has to be confirmed by you before it actually runs. Read before you run. Periodt. 💅
