change api key

[kisslessvirgin]

How do I change the API key? I accidentally entered it wrong and I can't seem to even reset it.
I've tried:
deleting sgpt.py in ~/.local/lib/python3.11/site-packages and /usr/local/bin
I know there's supposed to be a text file somewhere but I cant find it.
Any help appreciated!

Hi, install it again:

pip install shell-gpt --user --upgrade

Then you would need to delete your API key txt file:

rm ~/.config/shell-gpt/api_key.txt

And try to run sgpt again:

sgpt "test"

It will ask your API key.

Ran into this problem last week during installation, solved it right away!

This thread solved the same case and I am finding this ai tool may help a lot in coding. Thank you.

Looks like the file has changed now, I found my key in
~/.config/shell_gpt/.sgptrc
Just nano it, and update the OPENAI_API_KEY= as appropriate

what is the command on windows... where is the directory. does it go into python or pip folder?

[xsoc]

On windows try notepad %USERPROFILE%\.config\shell_gpt\.sgptrc

I'm having this issue too but there is no ~/.config/shell-gpt/api_key.txt and I can't seem to be able to completely purge sgpt in order to install it again.
