Show HN: Bash4LLM+ – A lightweight, dependency-free Bash wrapper for LLM APIs
The report
Bash4LLM is a single-file Bash wrapper for interacting with LLMs from the terminal. I created it because I wanted something simple that worked without installing Python, Node, or any other runtime.
Why it matters
You can send prompts, start a small chat, process files line by line, stream output, and save session metadata in JSON format. I tried to make it safe and predictable: no use of the system /tmp, no use of eval.
What sits behind it
Groq is supported by default, and other providers can be added with dedicated Bash scripts in the extras/providers/ folder
