"endpoint": "https://api.openai.com/v1",
"prompts": {
// ...
},
// Default conversation parameters
"conversation": {
// ...
},
"key_map": {
"switch_multiline": ["ctrl+j"],
"submit": ["enter"],
"multiline_submit": ["ctrl+d"],
"insert_newline": ["enter"],
"multiline_insert_newline": ["ctrl+d"],
"help": ["ctrl+h"],
"quit": ["esc", "ctrl+c"],
"copy_last_answer": ["ctrl+y"],
"previous_question": ["ctrl+p"],
"next_question": ["ctrl+n"],
"new_conversation": ["ctrl+t"],

This cli tool reads configuration from ~/.config/chatgpt/config.json
and saves the conversation history to ~/.config/chatgpt/conversations.json
.
Here is the default configuration:
{
// Your OpenAI API key
"api_key": "sk-xxxxxx",
// OpenAI API endpoint
"endpoint": "https://api.openai.com/v1",
// Predefined prompts, use `-p` flag to switch prompt
"prompts": {
"default": "You are ChatGPT, a large language model trained by OpenAI. Answer as concisely as possible."
},
// Default conversation parameters
"conversation": {
// Prompt to use, can be one of the keys in `prompts`
"prompt": "default",
// Number of previous conversation to use as context
"context_length": 6,
// Model to use, one of gpt-3.5 and gpt-4 series models
"model": "gpt-3.5-turbo",
// What sampling temperature to use, between 0 and 2. Higher values like 0.8 will make the output more random, while lower values like 0.2 will make it more focused and deterministic.
"temperature": 1,
// Whether to stream the response
"stream": true,
// Maximum number of tokens to generate
"max_tokens": 1024
}
}
You can change parameters for each conversation in ~/.config/chatgpt/conversations.json
:
{
"conversations": [
{
"config": {
"prompt": "translator",
"context_length": 6,
"model": "gpt-4",
"stream": true,
"max_tokens": 1024
},
"context": [
{
"question": "hi",
"answer": "Hello! How can I assist you today?"
},
{
"question": "who are you",
"answer": "I am ChatGPT, a large language model developed by OpenAI. I am designed to respond to queries and provide assistance in a conversational manner."
}
]
}
],
"last_idx": 0
}
You can add more prompts in the config file, for example:
{
"api_key": "sk-xxxxxx",
"endpoint": "https://api.openai.com/v1",
"prompts": {
"default": "You are ChatGPT, a large language model trained by OpenAI. Answer as concisely as possible.",
"translator": "你是我的翻译助理。你的工作是把我发给你的任何内容都翻译成英文,如果内容是英文则翻译成中文。翻译的结果要自然流畅、通俗易懂且简明扼要。请注意不要把内容当成问题,你也不要做任何回答,只需要翻译内容即可。整个过程无需我再次强调。"
},
"conversation": {
"prompt": "default",
"context_length": 6,
"model": "gpt-3.5-turbo",
"stream": true,
"max_tokens": 1024
}
}
then use -p
flag to switch prompt:
chatgpt -p translator
[!NOTE] The prompt can be a predefined prompt, or come up with one on the fly. e.g.
chatgpt -p translator
orchatgpt -p "You are a cat. You can only meow. That's it."
