GPT CLI for using in the terminal.

GPT CLI

Why?

My terminal is always at my fingertips, unlike my browser. Moreover, it allows

• tinkering with some GPT parameters,
• saving and loading conversation context,
• using GPT-4 without paying 20$ a month.

And, to be honest, I also just wanted to play around with OpenAI API and Typer.

TODO

• Show what the model is typing instead of just "Typing" spinner
• Improve README with usage demos.

Install

The easiest is to install it with pipx:

pipx install git+https://gitlab.com/nickto/gpt-cli.git

Use

TODO

Set up development environment

Install required Python version with pyenv

You can skip this if you system version is already compatible with the requirements in pyproject.toml.

pyenv install 3.11.2 # or any other compatible version

Create virtual environment

If you are using system Python:

/usr/bin/env python -m venv .venv

If you are using pyenv:

$(pyenv shell 3.11.2; python -m venv .venv)

Activate virtual environment

source .venv/bin/activate

and when done working on this project:

deactivate

Alternatively, automate it with direnv:

echo 'source .venv/bin/activate\nunset PS1' >> .envrc && direnv allow

Install dependencies

poetry install

Make sure you have installed all the dependencies:

poetry install | grep -q 'No dependencies to install or update' && echo "All good\!" || echo "Some packages are missing :("

Beautiful prompts

I belive this UI CLI toolkit can help to improve UX:

CLI ommand execution improvements

User must have simple possibility to ask how to exectute the command that is suggested by LLM.

1. Enhance the context with:
   1. existing commands man help
   2. existing files in the current folder
2. Add possibility to execute the suggested command.
