cli-ai-tools

Overview

quay.io/che-incubator/cli-ai-tools:latest

This repository provides a pre-configured development environment, designed for use within Eclipse Che. It comes equipped with a comprehensive set of tools and configurations to support various development workflows, with a focus on Python and modern command-line utilities.

AI-Powered Development

This environment is supercharged with powerful command-line AI tools to streamline your development process:

• Aider (aider): Your AI pair-programming partner in the terminal. Aider works with local git repositories, allowing you to ask for new features, write tests, or refactor code, and it will apply the changes directly to your files.
• RA.Aid (ra-aid): An open-source AI assistant that combines research, planning, and implementation to help you build software faster and smarter.

Base Image

The environment is built upon the quay.io/devfile/universal-developer-image:latest base image.

Prompt Customization

• Starship: A minimal, blazing-fast, and infinitely customizable cross-shell prompt. It is configured system-wide for Bash, Zsh, and Fish.

Fonts

• FiraCode Nerd Font: Version 3.4.0 installed system-wide for enhanced terminal aesthetics with ligatures and icons.

Environment Configuration

User

• Default User ID: 10001

Default Shell

• The default shell for user 10001 is Fish (fish).

PATH Configuration

The system PATH is augmented to include:

• /root/.cargo/bin: For the uv Python package manager.
• /opt/ra_aid_venv/bin: For executables from the ra-aid virtual environment.
• /opt/aider_chat_venv/bin: For executables from the aider-chat virtual environment.

Starship Prompt

• System-wide Configuration: Starship is initialized for:
  • Bash: via /etc/profile.d/starship.sh
  • Zsh: via /etc/zshrc
  • Fish: via /etc/fish/conf.d/starship.fish
• Custom Paths: To avoid issues with user home directories in containerized environments, Starship uses:
  • STARSHIP_CONFIG=/opt/starship/config/starship.toml
  • STARSHIP_CACHE=/opt/starship/cache

Usage Notes

• Accessing Python Tools: Tools like uv, ra-aid, and aider are directly accessible from the command line. The PATH includes the binary directories for uv (/root/.cargo/bin) and both Python virtual environments (/opt/ra_aid_venv/bin and /opt/aider_chat_venv/bin).
• Starship Prompt: The Starship prompt is automatically active in all configured shells (Fish, Zsh, Bash) upon starting a terminal session.
