Installation

Install dash in under a minute.

What you need

• Node.js 18+
• Git (you probably have this)
• Groq API key - Free at console.groq.com/keys
• GitHub CLI - Optional, only for PRs and issues. Get it at cli.github.com

Install

npmpnpmbun
npm install -g @koushik_xd/dash

Done. Now run:

dash setup

This checks your setup and helps configure GitHub CLI if you have it.

Linux users: If you have the system shell dash installed (common on Debian/Ubuntu), use dash-cli instead of dash for all commands. Both work identically.

Add your API key

Get your free API key from Groq Console, then:

dash config set GROQ_API_KEY=gsk_your_key_here

Or use an environment variable:

export GROQ_API_KEY=gsk_your_key_here

GitHub CLI (optional)

If you want to use dash pr or dash issue commands, authenticate GitHub CLI:

gh auth login

Skip this if you only want commit message generation.

Test it

dash --version

If you see a version number, you're ready.

git add .
dash commit

Update dash

npm update -g @koushik_xd/dash
