Gpt Cli

Linux terminal GPT3 integration with killer prompt that skip descriptions and other human-readable bullshit. It shows you commands that can be executed by ENTER.

Example:

You typing:

p show me my graphic cards

You will see:

lspci -k | grep -A 2 -E "(VGA|3D)"

After ENTER you will see

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Alder Lake-P Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0c)
        Subsystem: CLEVO/KAPOK Computer Device 65f5
        Kernel driver in use: i915

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GA106M [GeForce RTX 3060 Mobile / Max-Q] (rev a1)

        Kernel driver in use: nvidia

More powerful every day

From v0.0.8 it supports context overriding. Default system context is

Imagine you are linux terminal command selector. I will describe task, and you will respond only using linux command, without description, without explanation.

Default postprocess mode is confirm. It shows answer and asking if it should be executed.

But you can use it in other use-cases. To translate texts:

GPT_SYSTEM_PROMPT="I am translator from polish to english. I need to translate this text." GPT_POST=copy p Witaj świecie

You can redirect it to file set these environment variables as permanent.

export GPT_SYSTEM_PROMPT="I am translator from polish to english. I need to translate this text."; export GPT_POST=out;

and then translate using:

p "$(cat polish.txt)" > english.txt

To back do default

unset GPT_SYSTEM_PROMPT; unset GPT_POST

Possible values:

• GPT_SYSTEM_PROMPT - any string that will explain gpt3 how to behave.
• GPT_POST
  • confirm - default, will ask if execute output in terminal
  • copy - will copy your answer to terminal clipboard
  • out - will print answer on standard output - usefully for further processing

Installation

There are few options

Shell

wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gustawdaniel/gpt-cli/main/install.sh | bash

it will save gpt-cli and alias p in /usr/local/bin so this is why it require sudo.

Cargo

cargo install gpt-cli
ln -s ~/.cargo/bin/gpt-cli ~/.cargo/bin/p

Docker

alias p="docker run -v ~/.gpt-cache.json:/.gpt-cache.json -e GPT3_API_KEY=${GPT3_API_KEY} gustawdaniel/gpt-cli"

In Docker, you can't use flag GPT_POST and it is automatically set as out. It means that you can't confirm command by ENTER and commands will not be copied to your clipboard.

Complication from source

git clone https://github.com/gustawdaniel/gpt-cli && cd gpt-cli 
cargo build --release
sudo cp ./target/release/gpt-cli /usr/local/bin/p

Config

Copy your GPT3_API_KEY to env variable. Your .profile, .bashrc, or .zshrc file.

export GPT3_API_KEY=sk-xxx

You'd need to enter your own OpenAI API key Here's how you can get one

1. Go to https://openai.com/api/login
2. Create an account or log into your existing account
3. Go to https://platform.openai.com/account/api-keys or

Price: $0.002 per 1,000 tokens. Single command is about 50 tokens. So in price 1USD you have about 10.000 commands. Tools with model before gpt-3.5-turbo costs 10 times more.

Usage

Features

• Interactive commands
• Colors
• Real time stream
• Overriding system context (GPT_SYSTEM_PROMPT env)
• Confirm, Copy and Standard Output modes (GPT_POST env)
• Easy to install (in progress)
  • compilation from source
  • install by bash like nvm
  • docker
  • snap
  • aur
  • apt
  • dnf

Exceptions

If commands contains export or $ it can't be correctly passed from child process to parent. So there is fallback applied and these commands are copied if you wanted to execute them by confirmation.

Examples:

p change terminal language to english
Text 'export LANG=en_US.UTF-8' was copied to your clipboard

p show my current shell
Text 'echo $SHELL' was copied to your clipboard

Constrains

Ofc GPT3 does not have sense of humor... so

p say mooo as cow that have colors of rainbow

will not work. Correct answer is

cowsay mooo | lolcat

and for

p show my train in terminal

answer is

Sorry, I do not understand. Can you please provide more details about what you want me to do?

instead

GNU vs MUSL releases

During compilation, you can use static linking (musl) or dynamic (gnu). To use terminal-clipboard there is required need dynamic linking, but it works only on typical linuxes that uses libc. To make docker image small (12 MB) there is provided musl version.

So to be able to use all features (support for GPT_POST=copy), I recommend to use standard gnu but if you need docker or run it on alpine then use musl.

Support

I'm looking for challenging, remote job with rust + typescript + advanced math, so if you appreciate this project, you can share it, leave star, and recommend me earning employment commission.
