AI in the command line.

You just need to write a comment or variable name and the AI will write the corresponding code.

This is a ZSH plugin that enables you to use OpenAI's powerful Codex AI in the command line. OpenAI Codex is the AI that also powers GitHub Copilot. To use this plugin you need to get access to OpenAI's Codex API.

1. Install the OpenAI package.

pip3 install openai

2. Download the ZSH plugin.

git clone https://github.com/tom-doerr/zsh_codex.git ~/.oh-my-zsh/custom/plugins/zsh_codex 

3. Add the following to your .zshrc file.

Using oh-my-zsh:

    plugins=(zsh_codex)
    bindkey '^X' create_completion

Without oh-my-zsh:

    # in your/custom/path you need to have a "plugins" folder and in there you clone the repository as zsh_codex
    export ZSH_CUSTOM="your/custom/path"
    source "$ZSH_CUSTOM/plugins/zsh_codex/zsh_codex.plugin.zsh"
    bindkey '^X' create_completion

4. Create a file called openaiapirc in ~/.config with your SECRET_KEY.

[openai]
secret_key = ...

You can also optionally specify: organization, base_url, model and temperature.

5. Run zsh, start typing and complete it using ^X!

6. If you use virtual environments you can set ZSH_CODEX_PYTHON to python executable where openai is installed. e.g. for miniconda you can use:

export ZSH_CODEX_PYTHON="$HOME/miniconda3/bin/python"

zsh-syntax-highlighting: unhandled ZLE widget 'create_completion'
zsh-syntax-highlighting: (This is sometimes caused by doing `bindkey <keys> create_completion` without creating the 'create_completion' widget with `zle -N` or `zle -C`.)

Add the line

zle -N create_completion

before you call bindkey but after loading the plugin (plugins=(zsh_codex)).

fatal: destination path '~.oh-my-zsh/custom/plugins'

Try to download the ZSH plugin again.

git clone https://github.com/tom-doerr/zsh_codex.git ~/.oh-my-zsh/custom/plugins/zsh_codex
