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)
        Subsystem: CLEVO/KAPOK Computer Device 67f5
        Kernel driver in use: nvidia

Customization

Context and output mode

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

Model Selection

OpenAI offers many models https://platform.openai.com/docs/models/overview. Most popular are:

Name	Description	Max Tokens	Max Words	Price input / output - per 1k tokens
gpt-3.5-turbo	Most capable GPT-3.5 model and optimized for chat at 1/10th the cost of text-davinci-003.	4,097	3,072	$0.0015 / $0.002
gpt-3.5-turbo-16k	Same capabilities as the standard gpt-3.5-turbo model but with 4 times the context.	16,385	12,228	$0.003 / $0.004
gpt-4	More capable than any GPT-3.5 model, able to do more complex tasks, and optimized for chat.	8,192	6,144	$0.03 / $0.06
gpt-4-32k	Same capabilities as the standard gpt-4 mode but with 4x the context length. Will be updated with our latest model iteration.	32,768	24,576	$0.06 / $0.12

Updated pricing: https://openai.com/pricing

You can select your model adding env variable GPT_MODEL. For example to translate long text from file pl.txt to en.txt use command.:

GPT_SYSTEM_PROMPT="I am translator from polish to english. I need to translate this text." GPT_POST=out GPT_MODEL=gpt-3.5-turbo-16k p "$(cat pl.txt)" > en.txt

Access to models

On July 6, 2023, Open AI gave access to the GPT-4 API (8k) to all API users who have made a successful payment of $1 or more. We plan to open up access to all developers soon, and then start raising rate-limits after that depending on compute availability.

They are not currently granting access to GPT-4-32K API, but it will be made available at a later date.

Installation

There are few options

Shell

You need: wget and sudo.

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 OPENAPI_API_KEY=${OPENAPI_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.

Compilation 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 OPENAPI_API_KEY to env variable. Your .profile, .bashrc, or .zshrc file.

export OPENAPI_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

what you typing in terminal	answers you can execute by "ENTER"
show me graphic card	lspci -k | grep -A 2 -E "(VGA|3D)"
jq command that join package name and version by dash	jq '.name + "-" + .version'
three processes with highest ram usage	ps aux --sort=-%mem | head -n 4
make backup of mysql db called docs	mysqldump docs > docs_backup.sql
setup jest configured for typescript	npm install --save-dev jest @types/jest ts-jest
generate ed keys	openssl genpkey -algorithm ed25519 -out privatekey.key
show me content of Cargo.toml encoded as base64	base64 Cargo.toml
show me content of Cargo.toml encoded as base64 in single line	cat Cargo.toml | base64 -w 0
show timer that will update every second	watch -n 1 date +%T
range from 10 to 15	seq 10 15
replace all lines starting from "CFG_" to starting from "CONFIG_" in file env.conf	sed -i 's/^CFG_/CONFIG_/g' env.conf
write one liner to detect emails in file	grep -Eio '\b[A-Za-z0-9._%+-]+@[A-Za-z0-9.-]+.[A-Z|a-z]{2,}\b' filename
cron line to execute /bin/task every monday at 7pm	0 19 * * 1 /bin/task
run rusts tests one by one	cargo test -- --test-threads=1
who i am and am i still needed	whoami and yes, you are still needed. <-- hahah it is authentic gpt3 answer

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.
