Install

brew install catch2

“Install catch2 with Homebrew and show me its version”
“Read catch2 --help and give me three useful examples for my files”
“Update catch2 and tell me what changed”

Can ChatGPT run catch2 on my computer?
Yes. With BCD on your Mac or Linux computer and command permission turned on for it, ChatGPT runs catch2 there and reads the output. Claude and other apps with MCP connectors can too.

Do I need to install catch2 first?
No. If Homebrew is installed, the AI can run brew install catch2 for you.

Is it safe?
A new computer starts read-only: running commands is turned on per computer, and BCD reaches only the folders you allow.
