Installation

Make sure you have Python 3.10 or higher installed on your system. You can check your Python version by running python --version or python3 --version in your terminal. Older version may work but have not been tested.

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/piercecohen1/GPT-CLI.git
cd GPT-CLI

2. Create a virtual environment and activate it (optional):

python3 -m venv gpt-venv
source gpt-venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: gpt-venv\Scripts\activate

3. Install the required dependencies:

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

4. Add your OpenAI API key as an environment variable (replace your_api_key with your actual API key):

For Zsh:

echo "export OPENAI_API_KEY=your_api_key" >> ~/.zshrc
source ~/.zshrc

For Bash:

echo "export OPENAI_API_KEY=your_api_key" >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc

Or, to set temporarily:

export OPENAI_API_KEY=your_api_key  # On Windows: set OPENAI_API_KEY=your_api_key

Alternatively, you can uncomment and replace the "YOUR_API_KEY" placeholder in the code with your actual API key.

Usage

Run the chat application:

python3 chat.py

Enter your message and press enter to send it. The AI model will respond accordingly. To use the available commands, type a / followed by the command.

/paste                    Your clipboard contents will be substituted for the `/paste`
