Installation​

  1. Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/piercecohen1/GPT-CLI.git
cd GPT-CLI
  1. Create a virtual environment and activate it (optional):
python3 -m venv gpt-venv
source gpt-venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: gpt-venv\Scripts\activate
  1. Install the required dependencies:
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
  1. 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.
