FAQs
Does shell_gpt require an OpenAI API key?
By default, shell_gpt uses OpenAI's API and GPT-4, which requires an API key. This key is stored securely in your configuration. However, you can also configure shell_gpt to use locally hosted open-source models, which are free to use, by running your own LLM backend server like Ollama.
Can shell_gpt integrate with my existing shell?
Yes, shell_gpt offers shell integration for both Bash and Zsh. This feature allows you to use hotkeys (Ctrl+l by default) to invoke shell_gpt completions directly in your terminal's input line, enabling immediate editing and execution of suggested commands.
How does shell_gpt handle conversational context?
shell_gpt features a chat mode and REPL mode that preserve and recall conversations. It creates conversational dialogues, allowing you to iteratively improve GPT suggestions by providing additional details within the same session. These sessions are stored locally for continuity.
