Why?

Some advantages of using TerminalGPT over the chatGPT browser-based app:

• It doesn't disconnect like the browser-based app, so you can leave it running in a terminal session on the side without losing context.
• It's highly available and can be used whenever you need it.
• It's faster with replies than the browser-based app.
• You can use TerminalGPT with your IDE terminal, which means you won't have to constantly switch between your browser and your IDE when you have questions.
• TerminalGPT's answers are tailored to your machine's operating system, distribution, and chip-set architecture
• Doesn't use your conversation data for training the model (unlike the browser-based app).
• Your conversations are stored locally on your machine, so only you can access them.
