Sengpt

ChatGPT in your terminal, runs on re_gpt so no OpenAI API key required

Installation • Configuration • Usage • Building from source • Support

Installation

Ensure you have Python 3.11 and Glow installed.

pip install sengpt

Configuration

Session token

• Go to https://chat.openai.com and log in or sign up.
• Open the browser developer tools (right click and click "inspect" or "inspect element").
• Go to the Application tab (try expanding the dev tools window if you can't find it) and expand the Cookies section.
• Look for https://chat.openai.com.
• Copy the value for __Secure-next-auth.session-token.
• Run sengpt --session_token <your-session-token-goes-here>.

Preconfigured prompts

• Open the config file, run sengpt --config_file to see its location.
• Add a field named preconfigured_prompts and set its value to key value pairs of prompt name and value e.g.,

{
  "preconfigured_prompts": {
    "readme": "generate a README.md for this project",
    "expain": "briefly explain what this code does",
    "refactor": "refactor this code to improve readability",
    "generate_command": "No explanation. Output as literal string plain text i.e., echo Hello World instead of ```bash\\necho Hello World\\n```. Command as LITERAL string NO Markdown formatting. I want to be able to take your raw output and paste it into my terminal and it just works without me tinkering with it. Generate a command that "
  }
}

• To pass the prompt run sengpt --prompt_name or sengpt -pn.
• Warning!!! Make sure the short version of the prompt name doesn't clash with each other or with any of sengpt's default flags, i.e., a prompt name like script_tags will clash with session_token so every time you try and use it sengpt will think you want to set your session token.
• The preconfigured prompts are appended to the final prompt i.e., some_project.py | sengpt --readme make it as brief as possible

Modes

Interactive mode

Back and forth interaction with ChatGPT, saves the conversation on exit.

Currently doesn't support piped inputs i.e., cat README.md | sengpt summarise this document, if piped inputs are passed Query mode will be used instead.

Press Ctrl + C to exit.

Query mode

Print ChatGPT's response, delete the conversation and exit.

Default mode

The default mode is interactive mode but you can change this in the config

{
  "default_mode": "query"
}

With this configuration to use interactive mode run sengpt --interactive

Models

Either gpt-3.5 or gpt-4 can be used, the default is gpt-3.5. gpt-4 requires a ChatGPT Plus account and is slower. To switch to gpt-4 add this in your config file.

{
  "model": "gpt-4"
}

Username

How your username appears in the conversation, the default is You.

{
  "username": "Sen"
}
