Install

brew install gnu-which

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

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

Do I need to install gnu-which first?
No. If Homebrew is installed, the AI can run brew install gnu-which 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.
