Chat with GPT in terminal

This project implements a ChatGPT chatbot in the terminal.

The Markdown content in the responses is rendered as beautiful rich text
Historical questions can be retrieved via the up/down arrow
Optional multi-line queries
Token counting

The latest gpt-3.5-turbo model is used, which is the model used by ChatGPT free version (rather than the previous generation text-davinci-003 model).

Install

Clone the repo and navigate to the directory:

git clone https://github.com/xiaoxx970/chatgpt-in-terminal.git
cd ./chatgpt-in-terminal

In the .env file at the root of the project, write the OPENAI_API_KEY variable, as follows:
```
OPENAI_API_KEY=your-API-KEY
```
OpenAI's key can be generated on the page that opens when you click View API keys in the top right corner of the main page, direct link: https://platform.openai.com/account/api-keys.

If you don't configure the .env file, you can also directly input the API KEY at runtime, which will only take effect for that single run.
Install dependencies via requirements.txt:
```
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
```

Usage

Run the following command to start the bot:

python3 chat.py

The conversation record in its original format will be stored in chat.log.

Multi-line mode

If the question requires multi-line input, run the command with the -m parameter:

python3 chat.py -m

In multi-line mode, press Enter to move to the next line, and if you press Enter on a blank line, the question will be submitted.

Raw mode

If you would like answers that are not rendered with Markdown, run the command with the -raw parameter:

python3 chat.py -raw

Multi-line and raw modes can be used simultaneously.

Exit word

In the chat, you can end the session with an exit word, which can be:

['再见', 'bye', 'goodbye', '结束', 'end', '退出', 'exit']

The exit word will be sent as a question to ChatGPT, and the bot will exit after GPT provides an answer.

You can also use Ctrl-C or Ctrl-D to exit immediately.

After exiting, the bot will display the token count used in the chat.

Currently priced at: $0.002 / 1K tokens, the free version has a speed limit of: 20 times / min.
