A python cli to use chatGpt or GPT-4 in the terminal, with easy copy of codeblocks

GPT Terminal Prompt

A Python script that uses OpenAI's GPT models to generate text based on user input. Users can interact with the GPT engine and select code blocks returned by the model.

Installation

1. Clone the repository or download the script files. git clone https://github.com/y4my4my4m/gpt-terminal-assistant.git

2. Install the required Python packages using requirements.txt: pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Set the environment variable for your OpenAI API key. You can find your API key in the OpenAI platform's dashboard.

   • For Linux or macOS:
     • export OPENAI_API_KEY="your-api-key"
   • For Windows:
     • set OPENAI_API_KEY="your-api-key"

Usage

Run the script using Python:

python main.py

1. When prompted, select the chatbot engine you want to use (1 for chatGpt, 2 for GPT-4).
2. Type your prompt and press Enter WHEN ON A NEW LINE. The GPT model will generate a response.
3. If there are code blocks in the response, you can choose one to copy to the clipboard.
4. Type 'exit' to quit the program.

Convenience

Personally, I've added the following to my ~/.zshrc for ease of use: alias chatgpt='env OPENAI_API_KEY=MY-API-KEY python ~/gpt-terminal-assistant/main.py'
