Use ChatGPT from your terminal

Shell GPT (sgpt) brings the power of ChatGPT directly to your terminal. It acts as a command-line interface, enabling developers and system administrators to interact with OpenAI's models without leaving their shell environment. Its architecture is built around leveraging the OpenAI API, allowing users to formulate prompts and receive responses directly within the terminal. Key value propositions include enhanced productivity, rapid prototyping of scripts, and streamlined troubleshooting of system issues. Shell GPT can be used for generating code snippets, explaining complex commands, translating natural language into shell commands, and automating repetitive tasks. This improves workflow efficiency and provides immediate access to AI-driven problem-solving within the terminal.

Generates code snippets in various programming languages directly from natural language prompts. Uses the OpenAI API to interpret the intent and produce functional code.
Explains the functionality of complex shell commands in plain English. Parses the command syntax and provides a detailed breakdown of each component.
Identifies errors and suggests fixes for shell scripts. Analyzes the script's logic and provides diagnostic information.
Translates natural language queries into executable shell commands. Leverages AI to understand the user's intent and generate the appropriate command syntax.
Provides suggestions based on the current shell environment and recent commands. Uses historical data to anticipate the user's needs and offer relevant recommendations.
Install Python if not already installed.
Install the Shell GPT package using pip: `pip install shell-gpt`
Configure your OpenAI API key by setting the `OPENAI_API_KEY` environment variable.
Alternatively, configure your OpenAI API key in `~/.sgptrc` or `~/.config/shell-gpt/.sgptrc`.
Test the installation by running `sgpt "Hello, world!"` in your terminal.
Explore available commands and options using `sgpt --help`.
Customize settings such as model, temperature, and max tokens via command-line flags or environment variables.
