Amazon Q Developer CLI
Amazon Q in the terminal: completion for hundreds of CLIs, natural language chat and command generation.
Autocomplete for the commands nobody remembers.
What it is sold for
Completing and explaining shell commands.
Same shelf
The rest of terminal and cli, alphabetically. Sharing a category is a filing decision, not a relationship.
- Runs coding agents as long-lived workers with objectives and memory, so a session survives being interrupted.
- A small CLI that writes the commit message from the staged diff.
- A replacement for cat with syntax highlighting, line numbers and git markers, paged by default.
- Puts a model inside the shell itself, so the prompt and the terminal are the same prompt.
- A searchable shell history that is project-aware, synced and encrypted, replacing reverse search.
- A virtual pet that lives in the Claude Code status line and reacts to what you are doing.
- exa did not answerA modern ls with colours, icons and git awareness. The site timed out; the project is now maintained as eza.
- Fig did not answerBrought IDE-style autocomplete to the terminal. Acquired by Amazon and folded into Amazon Q. The site returns a server error.
