BashChain#
This notebook showcases using LLMs and a bash process to perform simple filesystem commands.
from langchain.chains import LLMBashChain
from langchain.llms import OpenAI
llm = OpenAI(temperature=0)
text = "Please write a bash script that prints 'Hello World' to the console."
bash_chain = LLMBashChain.from_llm(llm, verbose=True)
bash_chain.run(text)
> Entering new LLMBashChain chain...
Please write a bash script that prints 'Hello World' to the console.
```bash
echo "Hello World"
```
Code: ['echo "Hello World"']
Answer: Hello World
> Finished chain.
'Hello World\n'
Customize Prompt#
You can also customize the prompt that is used. Here is an example prompting to avoid using the ‘echo’ utility
from langchain.prompts.prompt import PromptTemplate
from langchain.chains.llm_bash.prompt import BashOutputParser
_PROMPT_TEMPLATE = """If someone asks you to perform a task, your job is to come up with a series of bash commands that will perform the task. There is no need to put "#!/bin/bash" in your answer. Make sure to reason step by step, using this format:
Question: "copy the files in the directory named 'target' into a new directory at the same level as target called 'myNewDirectory'"
I need to take the following actions:
- List all files in the directory
- Create a new directory
- Copy the files from the first directory into the second directory
```bash
ls
mkdir myNewDirectory
cp -r target/* myNewDirectory
```
Do not use 'echo' when writing the script.
That is the format. Begin!
