<p>IRIS (Intelligent Real-time Input Suggestion) - A shell auto-completion tool that works like code editor's IntelliSense</p>

**IRIS is built on top of TTY, so it runs everywhere. It just needs a terminal!**
Run iris wherever you already work; your local machine, a remote server, or anywhere you can ssh. Each suggestion menu renders directly inline inside your real terminal session, not an app's imitation of one, so it never breaks full-screen TUIs or terminal formatting. Automatically index your aliases and shell history to suggest commands that match your actual workflow in real time. Change configurations and propagate them instantly without restarting your shell. One single local native Go binary, not an app: no gui, no electron, no mac-only wrapper, no account, no telemetry. (if you've used fig: it's that, rebuilt to run purely on TTY)

## AI suggestions
<div align="center">

<i>IRIS has AI suggestions like your code editor (API key/Local)</i>
</div>
## Why IRIS instead of Fig
> [!IMPORTANT]
> **[Fig](https://app.fig.io/) was officially sunset in September 2024 and migrated to Amazon Q Developer (which requires cloud authentication and proprietary bloat)**
> **IRIS is the lightweight, open-source, zero-telemetry alternative built purely on native Go and TTY with no accounts, no GUI app, and no background daemons required**
### How it compares
| Feature | IRIS | Fig |
| :-------------------------- | :------------------- | :--------------- |
| **Platforms** | Linux, macOS | macOS only |
| **Engine** | Native Go (TTY) | Electron |
| **Startup** | Near-zero overhead | Low overhead |
| **UI** | Inline overlay | GUI popover |
| **Remote SSH** | TTY-native, portable | macOS GUI-bound |
| **Tmux** | ✓ | Limited |
| **Linux virtual terminals** | ✓ | - |
| **Memory** | Lightweight | Electron runtime |
## Why not shell autocomplete plugins?
Shell plugins are great, but they also come with trade-offs. And also, not everyone use Zsh or Fish especially on SSH.
| Feature | IRIS | Shell plugins |
| :-------------------------- | :---------------------- | :--------------------------- |
| **Installation** | Single binary | Plugin manager required |
| **Shell support** | Most shells supported | Usually shell-specific |
| **Startup** | No shell initialization | Increases shell startup time |
| **SSH** | One config | Per-shell config |
| **Tmux** | ✓ | Depends on the shell |
| **Linux virtual terminals** | ✓ | Depends on the shell |
## Install
#### Dependencies
- OS: Linux or macOS
- Terminal emulator with ANSI color support
- Go 1.24 or newer (if building from source)
> [!WARNING]
> Currently, Windows is not supported
#### Method 1: Package managers
<details>
<summary><b>Arch Linux (AUR)</b></summary>
<br>
IRIS is available on the Arch User Repository. You can install it using your favorite AUR helper:
```bash
yay -S iris-autocomplete
```
OR
```bash
paru -S iris-autocomplete
```
</details>
<details>
<summary><b>macOS / Linux (Homebrew)</b></summary>
<br>
Install IRIS via Homebrew tap:
```bash
brew install versenilvis/iris/iris
```
</details>
<details>
<summary><b>Nix Flakes</b></summary>
<br>
If you are using Nix Flakes, you can consume this module directly without building it manually.
1. In your `flake.nix` inputs, add:
```nix
iris.url = "github:versenilvis/iris/main";
```
2. Then, use one of the following options to add IRIS to your system:
**Option A: Try without installing (ephemeral)**
```bash
nix run github:versenilvis/iris
```
**Option B: Install to your user profile**
```bash
nix profile add github:versenilvis/iris
```
**Option C: Using Home Manager**
*(Ensure you pass `inputs` to modules via `extraSpecialArgs`)*
```nix
home.packages = [ inputs.iris.packages.${pkgs.system}.default ];
```
**Option D: Without Home Manager (NixOS System)**
*(Ensure you pass `inputs` to modules via `specialArgs`)*
```nix
environment.systemPackages = [ inputs.iris.packages.${pkgs.system}.default ];
```
</details>

<summary><b>Aqua</b></summary>
<br>
If you use [aqua](https://aquaproj.github.io/), you can install IRIS by adding it to your `aqua.yaml`:
```yaml
packages:
- name: versenilvis/iris
```
Then run `aqua i`.
</details>
<details>
<summary><b>asdf</b></summary>
<br>
If you use [asdf](https://asdf-vm.com/), you can install IRIS via its plugin:

asdf plugin add iris https://github.com/versenilvis/asdf-iris.git
asdf install iris latest
asdf set -u iris latest
asdf current iris
```
</details>

```
#### Method 4: Build from source (for developers)
```bash
git clone https://github.com/versenilvis/iris.git
cd iris
just reload
```
## Update
```bash
iris update
```
Checks for and installs the latest release. To see what's changed first:
```bash
iris changelog # latest release
iris changelog -n 3 # last 3 releases
```
IRIS can also check for and install updates on its own - see `updater.auto-update` in the [configuration guide](#configuration-guide) below.
## Uninstall
To completely uninstall IRIS, remove all configurations, and clean up your shell integration files, simply run:
```bash
iris uninstall
```
## Shell setup
> [!WARNING]
> **IRIS may cause visual conflicts and keybinding overlaps with other shell autosuggestion plugins or third-party completion tools. To prevent this, please disable them safely (e.g., zsh-autosuggestions, zsh-autocomplete, atuin, flyline, ...)**
> [!NOTE]
> **This is already added from installation script, but if your shell config is missing it, please add manually**
To automatically start IRIS every time you open a new shell session, add the init command to your shell config:
**Zsh (`~/.zshrc`):**
```zsh
eval "$(iris init zsh)"
```
**Bash (`~/.bashrc`):**
```bash
eval "$(iris init bash)"
```
**Fish (`~/.config/fish/config.fish`):**
```fish
iris init fish | source
```
## Configuration guide
IRIS uses a clean TOML configuration file located at `~/.config/iris/config.toml`
### Creating & viewing config
```bash
iris config init
iris config show
```
### Sample `config.toml`
```toml

[history]
scope = "global" # "global", "directory", "workspace", or "hybrid"
[updater]
check-on-startup = true # check for updates on startup
channel = "stable" # "stable" or "nightly"
check-interval = "24h" # min time between update checks
auto-update = 0 # 0 = off, 1 = auto-install, 2 = confirm first
[ai]
enabled = false
provider = "groq" # "groq" or "ollama"
debounce_ms = 400 # ms to wait before querying the AI
# please use free subscription, that is enough for your daily usage
[ai.providers.groq]
endpoint = "https://api.groq.com/openai/v1/chat/completions"

timeout_ms = 5000 # ms before giving up
```
> [!NOTE]
> Using `api_key_env` is recommended over hardcoding `api_key` in plain text to keep credentials out of configuration files.

> [!TIP]
> **We keep all available theme templates in the [`themes/`](./themes) directory**
> **Feel free to create your own theme or contribute a new color scheme by adding it to this directory**
IRIS has theme TOML configuration file located at `~/.config/iris/theme.toml`
### Creating theme config
```bash
iris theme init
```
### Default theme
IRIS automatically falls back to the default theme if `theme.toml` is missing, empty, or contains missing configuration options
```toml
border = "#a277ff"
accent = "#61ffca"
muted = "#6d6a7f"
text = "#edecee"
text_sel = "#ffffff"
key = "#a277ff"
match = "#61ffca"
desc = "#9692a8"
desc_sel = "#edecee"
sel_bg = "#3d375e"
sel_text = "#110f18"
scroll_info = "#a277ff"
ghost_text = "#4B4A4C"
sys = "#1e1d28"
sys_sel = "#a277ff"
hist = "#1a2d36"
hist_sel = "#61ffca"
alias = "#2a2342"
alias_sel = "#a277ff"
```
> [!NOTE]
> IRIS also has 2 basic styles

## Reporting bugs
> [!NOTE]
> When submitting a bug report, please include:
> - A detailed description of the bug and steps to reproduce it
> - Relevant log files captured while running in debug mode
Run IRIS with debug mode:
```bash
iris -d
```
or `config.toml`:
```toml
debug=true
```
> [!IMPORTANT]
> **Since IRIS logs everything you type, you should only enable debug mode when you need to report bugs**
If IRIS crashes, it will automatically save a crash log and show the path on your terminal (`~/.iris/crash.log`). Or you can find the path to the latest crash log by running:
```bash
iris crash-log
```
Please include this file when reporting a crash.
