CLI ChatGPT integration for discovering Linux commands or answering random ChatGPT queries.

Askgpt can be used as a stand-alone GPT CLI or plugged-in to zsh (or other shells) in order to act as your CLI assistant.

When configured as below, you can interact with ChatGPT from the command line, and either:

1. Have it respond to a CLI-related question, putting the linux command in the queue for you to execute, or
2. Respond to a general question (non-linux related)

Askgpt will attempt to recognize when your query is about a linux command and, when configured properly in zsh, will allow you to execute that command by just pressing enter.

Example:

zsh> ask how do I list all files including hidden
zsh> ls -a  

To accept askgpt's response, press enter. To cancel, backspace over text or press CTRL-C.

If the query appears to be unrelated to a linux command, askgpt will just print the results. You can force the general response by using ai instead of ask

Example:

zsh> ai what is the highest mountain
The highest mountain in the world is Mount Everest.
zsh>

Some requests may require quoting the entire string, for instance, when using some punctionation (?,.$). To avoid this, just type ask or ai followed by ENTER. Then type string.

Example:

zsh> ai
ai: what are quotes(") for?
