AskGPT 🤖

This library gives your Terminal superpowers by connecting it with OpenAI API directly. It allows you to use a simple command to have a pretty similar response to what you can get with ChatGPT.

Installation

This library should be installed globally with your preferred package manager:

npm i -g askgpt

After installation, you have to configure your API KEY to connect to OpenAI API. To do so, follow these steps:

• Sign up to OpenAPI and go to your API Keys screen in https://beta.openai.com/account/api-keys.
• Create a new secret key, copy its value and run the command:

askgpt --config

• The terminal prompt will ask for your API key, paste it and press Enter. It will save the key in your local system.
• You are done! Time to use OpenAI features 🚀

Using OpenAI API

In this version of the library we support chatCompletion using gpt-3.5-turbo data model. It's more than enough for precise answers and helping with code.

To use the API directly from your terminal, run this command:

askgpt -m "how can I commit my files using Git?"

And you will receive an output with the answer from OpenAI and an approximate cost of your request (you may be in the free test tier for now so take care about reaching the credit limit!).

Available flags
