codegenpt 0.4.1

Autogenerate files and folders using ChatGPT API

CodeGenPT

Autogenerate files using ChatGPT API.

Installation

pip install codegenpt

Usage

CodeGenPT looks for .codegenpt files within the source tree and generate files using its instructions.

Example: hello_world.py.codegenpt

Create a hello world program

Then:

$ codegenpt helloworld.py.codegenpt
⏳ Generating file: helloworld.py
🍺 File generated: helloworld.py
🍻 Success

Will generate a file named helloworld.py:

print("hello world");

The actual content of the file will be generated by ChatGPT, so it will vary at each run.

You can also recursevily generate all files within a directory:

$ codegenpt -R .
🔎 Searching files...
⏳ Generating file: helloworld.py
🍺 File generated: helloworld.py
⏳ Generating file: README.md
🍺 File generated: README.md
⏳ Generating file: tests/tests.py
🍺 File generated: tests/tests.py
🍻 Success

Setup

CodeGenPT expects an environment variable called OPEN_API_KEY.

1. Get an Open AI API Key
2. Add the key to your OPEN_API_KEY environment variable:

• If you use bash:

  echo 'export OPENAI_API_KEY={your api key}' >> ~/.bash_profile && source ~/.bash_profile
  

• If yu use zsh:

  echo 'export OPENAI_API_KEY={your api key}' >> ~/.zshenv && source ~/.zshenv
  

Commands

Commands are special instructions you can use to instruct the generation process.

All codegenpt commands are placed in a single line in the format:

@command_name args...

@include

Includes one or more files on the context. Included files can be referenced using @filename.ext in the generation instructions

Example:

names.txt:

Diego
Alberto
Daniel

random_name.js.codegenpt:

@include assets/names.txt

Read @names.txt and write a function that returns one of the names

random_name.js:

function getRandomName() {
  const names = [
    'Diego',
    'Alberto',
    'Daniel'
  ];

  const randomIndex = Math.floor(Math.random() * names.length);

  return names[randomIndex];
}
