Uninstalling

If you installed with the install script, you can execute the following command to remove the tgpt executable

sudo rm $(which tgpt)

Configuration file is usually located in ~/.config/tgpt on GNU/Linux Systems and in "Library/Application Support/tgpt" on MacOS

tgpt's Issues

Is tgpt a proxy between client and openai?

How do tgpt connect to chatgpt/openai?share many openai keys between all users?

chatbot panic

tgpt panics when asked to help write any program i ask it, and does not complete the program

About updating in windows

Hello, I use this program a lot in my daily life a lot. But why does update function don't work in windows? Some Go binaries don't support it?

Rate limit reached, please try again.

Comment faire pour ne pas être limité ? ou quels sont les limites ? pourrait-elle afficher dans l'aide ?

Explain what Bai Chatbot is, chinese is not something you want to see on ur PC, code, websites.

That's it, what is Bai Chatbot, why, and how do you get their API? Does TGPT violate any terms of service? If so, how can you adapt this so it respects private property?

Arm instalation

How to install tgpt on Raspbian os, is that possible?

Problem with tgpt -u command.

Hi,

If I run the command tgpt -u the script returns this error after asking me my password:

mv: unable to evaluate '/tmp/tgpt': No such file or folder
Failed to update. Error: exit status 1
Successfully updated.

Running it with sudo tgpt -u, it installs but the rights of the /usr/bin/tgpt file are set to 700.
In the install script, you can replace chmod +x with chmod 755 to solve this problem.

Regards.

Bai is stucked to only `ONE prompt`

i dont know why this is happening

in image it shows that -->
1st what is austere
2nd explain this with all jargon for 5 year old "Severe or stern in disposition or appearance; somber and grave"
but thsi time tgpt think 1st is the prompt ?? how u can see screenshot
and this goes repeat

[Feature Request] input file contents

Currenlty we can't paste 20 lines of text or code to pass into tgpt. So adding -f for file input mode to pass the contents directly would give more advantage to it.

• If there is limit to what the server can handle, then we should consider adding limit to file size or lines of code ?

For example : there is a python file with a function

What does someFunction do ?
import os
import sys

def someFunction():
   # Doing something

Directly sending this file as -f and get the output as interactive mode would help developers alot.

introduce word - wrapping

see inner words like additionally are breaked up

please introduce ->

• word wrapping , based on terminal size
• line break ,
• very colofull output , being plain text is very plain

panic when running TGPT with -s argument

panic: runtime error: index out of range [2] with length 2

goroutine 1 [running]:
main.main()
/home/runner/work/tgpt/tgpt/main.go:61 +0x1025

When I ran "tgpt -s" it panicked and spit out this.
But when I use "tgpt -s "update my system" " it works.

Arrow keys dont work in interactive mode

screenshot

Using arrow keys in interactive mode produces these characters. On multiline mode i can navigate with arrow keys properly.

I'm on linux using hyprland wm (wayland). Keyboard layout fi. I tested with alacritty and UXTerm, same happens with both.

FeatureRequest "Multiline input"

Sending code to test or debug doesn't work in interactive mode.

Adding multiline support would help.
https://github.com/pterm/pterm

there is interactive_textinput/multi-line in here. if that helps.
Also adding a clear command to clear the terminal would help a lot.

%!s(<nil>) error

I was asking random things until it took a long time loading and returned:

%!s(<nil>)

This was also the content of the .config/tgpt/config.txt file. I removed it and that fixed the issue. So far I couldn't reproduce the error again.

Line wrapping

Hello.

Is there any trick or way to use line wrapping (shift + enter)? When you try to send a request with a script, it looks like this:

tgpt 'What does this code do? #!/bin/bash                                                                                                  ~

url=$(xclip -o) 

if [[ $url =~ ^(https?://) ]]; then 
  mpv "$url" --title='${media-title}'
fi
'
What does this code do? #!/bin/bash                                                                                                  ~

url=$(xclip -o) 

if [[ $url =~ ^(https?://) ]]; then 
  mpv \"$url\" --title=title
fi


Error. Your IP is being blocked by the server.

[Linux] Please make it so that the update function does not install under /usr/local/bin/

As mentioned in the title, the update function seems to just execute the install script that asks for sudo so as to put it in the /usr/local/bin/ folder. In my case though, tgpt is in ~/bin/ and I would like it to stay there. In plain terminal output

$ which tgpt-linux-amd64 
/home/user/bin//tgpt-linux-amd64

$ tgpt-linux-amd64 --version
tgpt 1.4.2

$ tgpt-linux-amd64 --update
Updating...
[sudo] password for user: 

p.s. I know it is on 1.4.2. I thought the upgrade would bring it to 1.4.3, that's why I used an older version. However, a few minutes earlier I realised that it got a lot of updates in the last 2 days.

`-c` colide

😬

this is messed up

also what were you thinking while doing this???

tgtp -f = There is 'not' history to remove

response should be

'There is 'no' history to remove'

Query returns error 504

I tried to ask something and in return I got this:

Error. Your request is being blocked by the server.
Status Code: 504

Add an interactive mode

Hey , great project I'm personally enjoying it a lot!

I think it should have an interactive mode for entering tgpt with no arguments for just start talking with the IA instead of typing tgpt "<the query>" every time you want to use it. My personal approach would be something like this:

tgpt
> query here
> response here

Probably also consider adding a way to visually differenciate the questions and the answers. Also the program should just wait for an exit command to terminate the interactive session.

Thanks for your effort, I'll try to implement the feature if I have the time.

just wanted to say thank you 😭 ⭐

i can't describe my emotion related to tgpt , it has changed everythign
primaryly changing the way i use internet , i was waster , in searching for info as i often waste time on random website due to search engine and site attraction, which leads me to waste time on useless things,

tgpt is like having a highly experienced BIG brother in EVERY Field
it saves tabs, RAM , performace , FAST AF , my chatgpt takes 50 sec to load my net sucks, no big issue
THANK You so much for creating tgpt

i know tgpt is just bai bot underneath, but the way it never stops you for money/token OpenAI money stealing shit :(
i dont have to care about trial finishing of openAIapi ,

tpgt is just a miracles
also BIG thx to Creater of BAI

here is modified version by tgpt

My emotions towards tgpt have undergone a significant transformation since I started using it. It has completely changed the way I use the
 internet. Previously, I would waste a lot of time searching for information and getting sidetracked by random websites. But now, tgpt has
 become like a highly experienced "big brother" in every field.

The tool is incredibly efficient; it saves tabs, RAM, and improves the performance of my computer. Even when my internet connection is poor,
 tgpt loads quickly, which is impressive. I am grateful for the creation of tgpt because it has made my life so much easier.

Although tgpt is powered by BAI, what sets it apart is that it does not require money or tokens to operate. This is a refreshing change
 from other tools that constantly demand payment. With tgpt, I no longer have to worry about trial periods ending or OpenAI API charges. It
 truly feels miraculous, and I extend my sincere thanks to the creator of BAI for making this innovative tool available.

not work

i told you a command like how do something it not answer nothing.

How to uninstall tgpt

Hello,

I installed TGPT through Powershell this way :

Invoke-WebRequest https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aandrew-me/tgpt/main/install-win.ps1 -OutFile "$PWD\install-win.ps1"; .\install-win.ps1

That completely broke my environment PATH

Can you please tell me how to completely remove TGPT from my computer now ?

threads

can we have threads,

tgpt --shell on linux

The -s/--shell argument run the command with exec. This give problems with the core utilities and crash the process.
My suggestion is to use "eval" instate of "exec".

[enhancement] Self Update

Would be great to update tgpt directly from its interface instead of manually installing each time the new release.

An example command for this:

tgpt --update
# or
tgpt -U

Tgpt for termux

Can you make tgpt to be used in Android with the help of tgpt

Where is the history of TGPT prompts & answers? Is it plain text?

jailbreak mode

just get the info we want

using external jailbreak prompt is something not good enough which require to open browser, :(
i use tpgt when i dont wnat to open browser

Redirecting stdout not works as intended

When redirecting the output to a file it puts a newline after the end of every single word and it also includes the loading spinner and original question which is not expected.

tgpt knowledge of versions

It would be nice of tgpt could report on version history.

$ tgpt 'what is the difference between tgpt 1.6.4 and tgpt 1.6.5?'
what is the difference between tgpt 1.6.4 and tgpt 1.6.5?

Unfortunately, I'm not aware of any specific product called "TGPT" that corresponds to version numbers 1.6.4 and 1.6.5. Could you please provide more information or context about what you are referring to? That would help me better understand your question and provide a more accurate answer.

Requires GLIBC_2.32 or newer

I am running Debian 11 Stable and it uses GLIBC_2.31.

I installed tgpt via install script. When I try to run tgpt, i get this output below.

$ tgpt
tgpt: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.32' not found (required by tgpt)
tgpt: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.34' not found (required by tgpt)

Option to make tgpt forget conversation

Apparently removing ~/.config/tgpt/ does the job, but it would be cool to have something like tgpt -c to do this

[Feature Request] Add an option to inject prompts before asking something

Let me explain, if there was an option for the user to add a prompt before his real prompt, you could have personalities or a custom assistan. For example, whenever I use TGPT I tell it my personal beliefs and political vision so it doesn't generate things I wouldn't believe, other AI projects also use this when they want ChatGPT to do something specific, like generating JSONs, Code, or Shell commands.

PS: Your project is awesome, keep it up. Maybe you can add more back-ends, even Dall-E?

Getting an API key error.

Whenever I enter an input I am getting the following error:

Error: 提供错误的API密钥 | Incorrect API key provided

Error: invalid character '<' looking for beginning of value <!DOCTYPE html>

I just installed using curl on my Arch Linux machine and whenever I try to give it a prompt, it just shows this error... I even tried reinstalling but nothing works as of now.

`scoop` install 404

trying to install latest release 1.5.2

unable to execute powershell commands in Windows 10

I have installed tgpt in windows 10 to help me with configurations of windows. but when I ask to run a test or a command I'm getting error the command can't be found in path. any help with this? when I run the command by itself it works just fine. This is the case for powershell command. not for DOS commands why is this?
tgpt -s "execute test-netconnection to google.com" Test-NetConnection google.com Execute shell command? [y/n]: y exec: "Test-NetConnection": executable file not found in %PATH%

Option for giving only code

Please add an option to extract only code from result.
Could please also syntax highlighting with bat or some other tool?

Error Launch on Arch Linux, (latest upgrade won't fix)

please fix this, I dont know but it works on my other systems like WSL Ubuntu, and Termux, it fails on my Arch Linux but it used to work before it returns error like this (attached):

panic: runtime error: index out of range [1] with length 1

goroutine 1 [running]:
main.main()
/home/runner/work/tgpt/tgpt/main.go:42 +0xb05

[Feature request] Edit prompt with external text editor and log output.

It's nice to use gpt in terminal, but the built-in editor is lacking with essential editing, to not write anything again, like this:

• move cursor a character (left, right)
• move cursor a word
• move to line start
• move to line end

---

• If I press:
  Left Right Up Down Insert Delete Home End PageUp PageDown
Esc F1-12

• I get garbage like this:
  ^[[D^[[C^[[A^[[B^[[2~^[[3~^[[1~^[[4~^[[5~^[[6~
^[^[OP^[OQ^[OR^[OS^[[15~^[[17~^[[18~^[[19~^[[20~^[[21~^[[23~^[[24~

Some things work, like:

^u: delete all to the left
^w: delete previous word
^i: tab
^d^d: EOF
^j: Enter?
^z: job to background
^c: exit
^v: input literal character
^m: Enter?

1. Because all of this, maybe you can allow to edit prompts with an external editor (Like: vi, emacs, nano, etc) as an alternative to the built-in editor.

2. Log output: this useful because, if I copy terminal output (from tmux) to a text editor, lines get hard wrapped to the terminal size, and needs to be fixed.

3. Maybe there other ways to fix this or has another useful shortcuts, but don't appear at Man, Help, Readme.md or Github at all.

TTS

Thanks for tgpt, it's amazing!

I briefly searched around but I don't think it's possible right now to plug in some TTS capabilities?

On archlinux for TTS I use package translate-shell (echo this is a test | trans --play) to do TTS, but trying tgpt "Question: Who is Dwight Shrute" speaks hashed words or portion of words.

Anyway, I wonder how we could proceed to have this on tgpt?

Prettier interactive mode

Could you please make interactive mode prettier with colors or symbols like this

i have done it using simple bash but i think integrating into "tgpt" would be good

Introduce a command exec mode

Hey, nice project.

I have a very similar one: https://github.com/ekkinox/yo, also in Go.

IMO a big feature for an AI TUI is to offer to run commands from user prompt, I suggest you do the same in your app, it'll bring it a lot more value :)

Also, I suggest you check early how to integrate tests, lint and goreleaser, since you get traction from YouTube, it'll help you in your next iterations ;)

IP Block error

It doesn't mention what is the error.

[FEATURE] move cursor in interactive mode

It would be nice to be able to move the cursor like usual. Interactive mode is frustrating like this.

[feature] -f not to remember ID

use -f to both forget and not remember in the first place.
