MyChatGPT

A casual and simple homemade ChatGPT Python script that can run using terminal (as long as you have an API).

Just run the code and type something.

(NOTE: Your input must end with a '#', such as 'How are you? #')

How To Use:

1. Install openai, and download the script

For Linux: pip install openai readline

For MacOS: pip install openai; brew install readline

For Windows: pip install openai pyreadline3

Then, download or copy mychatgpt.py in this repository.

2. Prepare an API

Azure API: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/products/cognitive-services/openai-service

OpenAI API: https://platform.openai.com/account/api-keys

3. Input your API Key

Replace the INPUT_YOUR_API_KEY in mychatgpt.py with your API Key;

If you use Azure API, replace INPUT_YOUR_ENDPOINT_URL and INPUT_YOUR_MODEL_NAME with yours.

4. (Optional) Edit your .bashrc or .zshrc

Edit your .bashrc or .zshrc to add this line to the bottom:

alias mychatgpt='python3 /PATH_TO_MYCHATGPT/mychatgpt.py'

Remember to replace PATH_TO_MYCHATGPT with the real path.

5. Run

Open terminal, and run:

python3 /PATH_TO_MYCHATGPT/mychatgpt.py

Remember to replace PATH_TO_MYCHATGPT with the real path.

If you performed step 4, just run mychatgpt.

Then use it. (NOTE: Your input must end with a '#', such as 'How are you? #')

Run with commands

Run with additional prompts:

mychatgpt --prompt YOUR_PROMPT
