Amazon Q Developer CLI

Amazon Q Developer CLI brings generative AI directly into your command-line workflow. It provides contextual autocompletion for hundreds of common tools (like git, npm, docker, and aws), a natural-language chat interface (q chat), and a translation feature (q translate) that converts plain English into shell commands . Its advanced capabilities—such as reading/writing files, executing AWS resource queries, and running local tools—are powered by Amazon Bedrock with models like Claude 3.7 Sonnet, enabling multi-turn conversations with actionable context . Installation is supported on macOS (via DMG or Homebrew), desktop Linux (AppImage or .deb), and headless Linux environments (via downloadable binaries) . Once installed and authenticated (via AWS Builder ID or IAM Identity Center), users can seamlessly chat (q chat), translate natural language into commands (q translate), update the tool (q update), diagnose issues (q doctor), and customize behaviors via q settings .
