Dev Assistant

Welcome to the Dev Assistant project.

What is it?

Dev Assistant is a GPTs, a (tailored version of ChatGPT) that can assist developers by executing tasks directly in our development environment. GPTs are a new way for anyone to create a tailored version of ChatGPT to be more helpful in their daily life, at specific tasks, at work, or at home. For more information about GPTs, please refer to OpenAI's blog post.

This repository contains the Dev Assistant CLI, a Python package that serves as the core component of the project. It receives instructions from Dev Assistant GPT, executes them locally, and sends the response back.

Features

Dev Assistant CLI is designed to streamline your development process by offering a range of functionalities:

• File Management: Create, read, update, and delete files. List the contents of a directory. You can manage your files without leaving your conversation with Dev Assistant GPT.

• Git Version Control: Initialize a Git repository, add changes to the staging area, commit changes, and push changes to a remote repository. Get the status of the Git repository. You can manage your Git repositories directly through Dev Assistant GPT.

• Terminal Commands Execution: Execute commands directly in the terminal. You can run any command in your terminal directly from Dev Assistant GPT.

Requirements

• 📓 Python 3.10+
• 📓 Pip and Poetry
• 💸 ChatGPT Plus subscription (for custom GPTs access)
• ⭐ Dev Assistant account

Installation

• Create a Dev Assistant account at devassistant.tonet.dev
• Generate a token at https://devassistant.tonet.dev/user/api-tokens for Dev Assistant GPT and save it. You will need it later.
• Install the local client:
  • Install Python
  • Run pip install dev-assistant-client in your terminal

Usage

Once installed, just run the following:

dev-assistant

If the CLI is not already authenticated, it will open a browser window where you will be provided with a token. Copy the token including the pipe, and return to the terminal.

If everything runs well, you will see the Dev Assistant CLI presentation and a unique CLIENT ID, like this:

        ╭─────╮   Dev Assistant
        │ >_< │   v0.2.46
        ╰─────╯   https://devassistant.tonet.dev

›       Connecting...           Connected!
›       CLIENT ID:              6a35a11c-f34e-4e30-be46-a9ac4d0f5ac7
›       WebSockets...           Connected!
›       Private channel...      Connected!
›       Ready!  Listening for instructions...
›       

You can stop the client just doing a CRTL+C in the terminal at any time.

Commands

Go to Dev Assistant GPT and start a conversation. You can ask for help with the commands, or just let Dev Assistant GPT discover it by itself. It will ask you to login if you are not already logged in.

You can now ask Dev Assistant GPT to do things like:

• Create a new file called my-file.txt on my Desktop
• Read a file called other-file.yml
• Update a file
• Delete a file
• List the contents of a directory
• Initialize a Git repository
• Add changes to the staging area
• Commit changes
• Push changes to a remote repository
• Get the status of the Git repository
• Execute a command in the terminal ... and more!

Versioning

To update the version of the package, follow these steps:

1. Commit your changes with a descriptive message.
2. Create a git tag with the format vX.Y.Z where X.Y.Z is the new version number.
3. Push your changes and the new tag to the repository.

The GitHub Actions workflow will automatically deploy the new version to PyPi when a new tag is detected.
