chatGPT-shell-cli

A simple, lightweight shell script to use OpenAI's chatGPT and DALL-E from the terminal without installing python or node.js. The script uses the completions endpoint and the text-davinci-003 model for chatGPT and the images/generations endpoint for generating images.

Features

• Chat with GPT from the terminal
• Generate images from a text prompt
• View your chat history

Getting Started

Prerequisites

This script relies on curl for the requests to the api and jq to parse the json response.

• curl

  brew install curl
  

• jq

  brew install jq
  

• An OpenAI API key. Create an account and get a free API Key at OpenAI

Installation

To install, run this in your terminal and provide your OpenAI API key when asked.

curl -sS https://raw.githubusercontent.com/0xacx/chatGPT-shell-cli/main/install.sh | sudo -E bash

Manual Installation

If want to install it manually, all you have to do is:

• Download the chatgpt.sh file in a directory you want
• Add the path of chatgpt.sh to your $PATH. You do that by adding this line to your shell profile: export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/chatgpt.sh
• Add the OpenAI API key to your shell profile by adding this line export OPENAI_KEY=your_key_here
• If you are using iTerm and want to view images in terminal, install imgcat

Usage

• Run the script by using the chatgpt command anywhere
• To generate images, start a prompt with image: If you are using iTerm, you can view the image directly in the terminal. Otherwise the script will ask to open the image in your browser.
• To view your chat history, type history
