Consider 🌟 this repo if you find this tool useful 🔥

Features

Use the pipe to pass the output of commands to GPT or Dall-E 2.
Choose your GPT model, GPT4 supported if you have access.
Dall-E 2 support: generate images directly in your terminal.
Contexts prompts tailored for your needs: add/update predefined context prompts or write your own when running the command.
Infinite conversation history: have chat sessions with GPT just like chat.openai.com but in your terminal.

See Installation and Setup below, but first, some examples.

Examples

$ gpt "what is your role?"
As your personal assistant, my role is to assist you in various tasks and answer your questions related to my areas of expertise, which include UNIX systems, bash, Python, Django, SQL, Javascript, ReactJS. I can help you with programming and development, server administration, debugging your code or scripts, optimizing performance, code review, providing recommendations for best practices, and more.

Use Dall-E:

$ gpt give me a very short description of the moon landscape | gpt --dalle

$ ls | gpt What is this directory for?
This directory contains the source code for a Ruby-based project called gpt-cli. It includes files related to the project's license (LICENSE.txt), changelog (CHANGELOG.md), dependencies (Gemfile and Gemfile.lock), executables (bin and exe), libraries (lib), signature (sig) and tests (spec). There is also a Rakefile and a README.md file which provide information about how to build and install the project, as well as its features and usage. Finally, it includes the gpt-cli-0.1.0.gem and gpt-cli.gemspec files which are used to build the gem which can be installed on other systems.

$ ls -l | gpt which of these are directories?
bin, exe, lib, sig, spec

$ ls | gpt "For each of these files, provide a description of what is likely to be their contents?"

$ git commit -m "$(git status | gpt write me a commit message for these changes)"
[master 7d0271f] Add new files and modify README.md

$ git status | tee /dev/tty | gpt write me a sonnet about the status of this git repository
On branch master
Untracked files:
  (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
        gpt-cli-0.1.0.gem

nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to track)

My master branch may lack to thee its kin
For change it holds the only force within
Thé untracked files, they still remain unnamed
‘Tis fervent hope thé change will soon be claimed

Fraught with the choice to leave or to persist
The repository wavers ‘tween future and past
The gpt-cli-0.1.0 gem stands out
Waiting to be added, not yet about

The commit awaits for brave new changes bold
While time’s old force is ever unfurled
Commit forth young mind, furrow not to crawl
From untracked files, a future stands tall.

% history | gpt what was the last thing I did
The last command you entered was 'history'.

n.b. somehow it sees history-esque output and determines that history was typed -- the history command does not itself include the history command in the output.

$ history | gpt what was the last thing I did before typing history
The last thing you did was amend a README.md file.

n.b. here it determines the amend was for README.md not from the previous command but from ones prior that edited README.md.

Installation

Install the gem by executing:

$ gem install gpt-cli

Setup

This library uses quick_openai which itself uses ruby-openai, so you may want to familiarise yourself with those projects first.

This library uses OpenAI GPT3 to generate responses, so you will need to have your access token available in ENV. In .bashrc or equivalent,

export OPENAI_ACCESS_TOKEN=mytoken

Set the model you want to use in ENV:

export OPENAI_MODEL="gpt-3.5-turbo"

Copy gpt_contexts.sample.json somewhere, for example ~/Documents/gpt_contexts.json, then put the file path in ENV (don't forget to rename the file to gpt_contexts.json):

export OPENAI_CONTEXTS_PATH="path/to/gpt_contexts.json"

(Optional) set the default context prompt you want to use, see gpt_contexts.sample.json for examples:

export OPENAI_DEFAULT_CONTEXT="python"

By default the executable is called gpt-cli. It is reccommended to alias this command to something shorter in .bashrc or equivalent, e.g.

alias gpt="gpt-cli"

Usage

There's optional parameters you can set when running gpt:
gpt -c <custom_context_prompt> -p <your prompt>

--context -c: this will be the context prompt, see basic contexts in gpt_contexts.sample.json. You can put a key from gpt_contexts.json or a custom context. Default to ENV OPENAI_DEFAULT_CONTEXT if not set. Add your own context prompts in gpt_contexts.json.

--prompt -p: your actual prompt.

--history -h: print conversation history.

--dalle -d: Generate an image from your prompt with Dall-E.

--clear: clear conversation history.

You can also run gpt without any arguments, just with your prompt. In this case, the context prompt will default to the one defined by ENV var OPENAI_DEFAULT_CONTEXT if it exists. If not, no context will be added.
See examples above for an overview of some usecases. Possibilities are endless.

Notes

This is made on top of openai_pipe, created by Aesthetikx, kudos to him for his awesome work!
Be aware that there is a cost associated every time GPT is invoked, so be mindful of your account usage. Also be wary of sending sensitive data to OpenAI, and also wary of arbitrarily executing scripts or programs that GPT generates. Also, this is my very first time working in Ruby. So please be indulgent 🙏

TODO

Add internet search support to feed prompt more accurately
Add proper documentation

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and the created tag, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
