Install

brew install nerdfetch

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

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

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