-A basic CLI program to replicate ChatGPT capabilities in the terminal for those with an OpenAI API key. An easy way to pay for the amount you use GPT-4 as opposed to the monthly flat rate for Plus members.
+cli-gpt is a ChatGPT-like terminal wrapper to make interfacing with GPT models with an OpenAI API key easier.
+
+## Requirements and Installation
+
+I've tried to keep requirements low as to keep the program pretty minimal. Outside of native Python libraries, we're grabbing `openai` (obviously) to interface with the OpenAI API, `tiktoken` to get token information, and `prompt_toolkit` + `pygments` for better terminal handling.
+
+To install and run the program, simply execute the following commands.
+```
+# Clone repository
+git clone https://github.com/jordanscharkey/cli-gpt.git
+cd cli-gpt/
+
+# Create environment
+python -m venv .venv/
+. .venv/bin/activate
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+
+# Fill token file and run
+vim token
+python chat.py
+```
+
+### Token File
+
+To use this program, you will need an OpenAI API key. Keep this token in a file named `key` in the repository and the program should automatically read from it.
+
+## Additional Functionality
+
+The `/help` command will list all commands and a short description of what that command will accomplish. Here is a summary of those commands:
+
+```
+ - /exit: Closes the chat.
+ - /context: Passthrough a URL to curl the context of into the chat history.
+ - /help: Display this list of available commands.
+ - /load: Load in a previous chat's JSON file.
+ - /save: Saves messages to specified JSON file and closes chat.
+ - /clear: Clears all messages and tokens from the chatlog, restarting the chat.
+ - /model: Change the model being used.
+ - /info: Print model information and cli-gpt version.
+ - /write: Write out any code from the previous message to a specified file.
+ - /copy: Copy code snippets from the previous message into the copy buffer.
+```
