Enhancing the --chat feature

[schielb]

There are two ideas that I think could make this tool a lot more user-friendly, specifically when handling previous chats that you have had with the bot:

• When you type sgpt --chat, have a feature where you can press Tab that will pull up all previous chats you have had - then you Tab through the list to pick the one you want.
• To avoid constantly having to type in sgpt --chat <chat_name> "Message", it would be nice to have a feature where you just type in sgpt --chat <chat_name> and essentially a new shell opens up, like the python shell when you just type python3 into the terminal. This way you can make the conversation continue without having to execute a new command for each query you create as part of that chat.
  • If you want to start a new chat from scratch, you can just use a new <chat_name> in the command.

I'd be down to try and help with this; where in the code does handling the --chat arg take place?

Hm, re-reading through the documentation, I realize that the second point is already figured out with REPL mode... my bad 😂

I wrote some fish shell commands which make working with shell-gpt easier.

alias ai="sgpt"

function hey
set -l query (string join " " $argv)
ai --chat MyChat "$query"
end

function cmd
set -l query (string join " " $argv)
ai --shell "$query"
end

these now let you use your specified chat automatically or quickly enter shell commands like this with no quotes:

hey give me a Python script to do that

cmd open an Apache server port 8080

hey do you remember how to find running daemons
