GPT-TUI

A TUI to interact with ChatGPT!

This is a reactive application that runs entirely in your terminal. It will adjust to the window size dynamically as well as font size.

It uses Textual and Rich for formatting outputs.

Authentication

The OpenAI API uses API keys for authentication. Visit your API Keys page to retrieve the API key you'll use in your requests.

Remember that your API key is a secret! Do not share it with others or expose it in any client-side code (browsers, apps).

Production requests must be routed through your own backend server where your API key can be securely loaded from an environment variable or key management service.

All API requests should include your API key in an Authorization HTTP header as follows:

Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY

From here you'll need to place your auth token into the .env file.

If you're unsure about the formatting you can do:

cp .env.example .env

And then just replace with your key.
