  "github_readme_excerpt": "Betty (version 0.1.8)\n=====================\n![circle ci build](https://circleci.com/gh/pickhardt/betty/tree/dev.png)\n\nBetty is a friendly English-like interface for your command line.\n\nShe translates English-like phrases into commands in case you ever run into situations [like this][xkcd].\n\n[xkcd]:http://xkcd.com/1168/\n\nThis means you don\u0027t have to leave your command line to look up an obscure but useful command. Just ask Betty!\n\nNOTE: While I do not have the time to actively maintain Betty anymore, it is perfectly functional, and I am open to new maintainers taking the lead. If you would be interested, contact me at pickhardt (at) gmail (dot) com.\n\nBy Analogy\n----------\n\niPhone users: it\u0027s like Siri for the command line.\n\nAndroid users: it\u0027s like Google Voice Search for the command line. (What\u0027s Google Voice Search? It\u0027s that thing you talk to that does stuff.)\n\n\nSet Up\n------\n\nManually:\n\n1. First, git clone this repo with `git clone https://github.com/pickhardt/betty`\n2. Add the following alias to your ~/.bashrc\n```alias betty=\"~/path/to/betty/main.rb\"```\n3. Use it! For instance, you can run commands: \"betty how many words are in this directory\" or \"betty uncompress something.tar.gz\"\n\nAutomatically:\n\n1. First, git clone this repo with `git clone https://github.com/pickhardt/betty`\n2. Run `ruby install.rb` in `betty/`.\n3. Use it! For instance, you can run commands: `betty how many words are in this directory` or `betty uncompress something.tar.gz`\n\n\nExamples\n--------\n\nGive Betty natural language input, for instance `betty whats my username`, and she\u0027ll respond in the most appropriate way.\n\n    \u003e betty whats my username\n    Betty: Running whoami\n    jrp\n\n    \u003e betty whats my real name\n    Betty: Running finger `whoami` | sed \u0027s/.*: *//;q\u0027\n    Jeff Pickhardt\n\nIf there\u0027s more than one way Betty could respond, she\u0027ll ask you to select the one you want.\n\n    \u003e betty whats my name\n    Betty: Okay, I have multiple ways to respond.\n    Betty: Enter the number of the comman",
