codegpt 0.1.3

A CLI tool for refactoring Python code using OpenAI's text-davinci-003 model

Codegpt

A tool for using GPT just a little quicker. A nearly truly automated footgun. Learn how to revert with git before trying please.

Posting about progress here:

Getting Started

pip install codegpt

And set your openapi API key as an environment variable like they recommend: In their docs here

Windows users can also use setx like:

$ setx OPENAI_SECRET_KEY=<YOUR_API_KEY>

from an admin console.

Be careful! But let's go.

Now with 10% less footgun!

Try this new command to see how it works:

codegpt todo do app.py

It'll prompt you for what needs done, and give you an option to edit the todo list before we attempt to refactor it.

The rest

The fun stuff is in the unsafe command.

Find a file you hate (Back it up! Don't do it live!) and give it a shot.

codegpt unsafe edit .\helper.py "Break this up into smaller functions where you can. Add google style docstrings. Feel free to rewrite any code doesn't make sense."

You'll see something like:

This prompt is 254 tokens, are you sure you want to continue?
The most GPT-3 can return in response is 3843. [y/N]: y

(and after a short wait...)

Explanation: The code has been refactored into smaller functions to improve readability, and Google style docstrings have been added.

Other things to try:

• codegpt unsafe edit - Try it with anything. Markdown blog posts, js, yaml, python, whatever.
• codegpt unsafe varnames - Changes variable names (and supposed to only be variable names...) to be readable
• codegpt unsafe comment - Automatically add comments to a file.

Propose endpoints as issues, I've got a few ideas:

• Explain file
• Write tests for file
• Generate SQL query from table spec files
• Generate new file
• Generate documentation from a file

Just remember this is paid - 2 cents per 1k tokens is a lot when you're working on files with a few hundred lines.

And remember to break up what you're working on - Results will be better with less moving parts and things to do.
