My CLI

gpt-code-edit is a Command Line Interface that allows you to target specific functions, classes, or methods in a file and use chatgpt to perform several edits on them including refactoring, adding comments, adding docstrings, or adding error handling.

Prerequisites

  • Python 3.9
  • An active OpenAI account with API keys

Installation

Use the package manager pip to install My CLI.

pip install chatgpt-cli

Usage

Set API Key

First, you need to set your OpenAI API key. You can find your key at OpenAI Platform if you have a valid OpenAI account.

gpt set-api-key <api_key>

Arguments

Argument Description
<api_key> The OpenAI API key for the user.

Code Edit

This command allows you to target specific functions, classes, or methods in a file and perform several edits on the code including refactoring, adding comments, adding docstrings, or adding error handling.

gpt code-edit <filename> [--target-functions <function1> <function2> ...] [--target-classes <class1> <class2> ...] [--target-methods <class1.method1> <class2.method2> ...] [--refactor] [--comments] [--docstrings] [--error-handling] [--gpt-4] [--temp <temperature>] [--create-review-file] [--edit-code-in-file]

Note: One of --create-review-file or --edit-code-in-file must be set. Both can be set at the same time.

Arguments

Argument Description
<filename> The filename of the file containing the code (eg. main.py).
--target-functions A space-separated list of function names to be targeted.
--target-classes A space-separated list of class names to be targeted. Each class should be provided as ClassName. This will target every method in each class provided. This cannot be used if --target-methods is also used on a method within one of the given classes.
--target-methods A space-separated list of method names to be targeted. Each method should be given as ClassName.method. This cannot be used if --target-classes is also used on the class the method is from.
--refactor If set, refactor the code.
--comments If set, add comments to the code.
--docstrings If set, add docstrings to the code.
--error-handling If set, add error handling to the code.
--gpt-4 If set, GPT-4 will be used instead of the default GPT-3.
--temp Affects the randomness of the output. A higher value makes the output more creative and a lower value makes it more structured. Must be between 1 and 0. The default is 0.4.
--create-review-file If set, creates a file {function_name}.py in a folder gpt_edit_review containing the newly edited function code and the old function code. This allows you to review the code before replacing it in the actual file. Remember to gitignore or delete the folder created when done.
--edit-code-in-file If set, rewrites the selected function with the newly edited version returned from GPT. If used, it is advisable for code to be committed and saved in case of erroneous changes.

Review to File

If when using code-edit the --create-review-file flag has been used so the edited code has been placed in a file for review, this command allows you to apply the changes to the actual file.

gpt review-to-file <filename> [--target-functions <function1> <function2> ...] [--target-classes <class1> <class2> ...] [--target-methods <class1.method1> <class2.method2> ...]

Arguments

Argument Description
<filename> The filename of the file containing the code (eg. main.py).
--target-functions A space-separated list of function names to be targeted from the corresponding gpt_edit_review/<filename> folder.
--target-classes A space-separated list of class names to be targeted from the corresponding gpt_edit_review/<filename> folder. Each class should be provided as ClassName. This cannot be used if --target-methods is also used on a method within one of the given classes.
--target-methods A space-separated list of method names to be targeted from the corresponding gpt_edit_review/<filename> folder. Each method should be given as ClassName.method. This cannot be used if --target-classes is also used on the class the method is from.
