OpenAI CLI is a command-line interface (CLI) written in Golang that allows users to interact with the OpenAI API using the chat option. Users can pass prompts using the --prompt flag or through STDIN, allowing for a flexible and convenient way to interact with the OpenAI API.

To use the OpenAI CLI, you don't need to have Golang installed. You can download the pre-built binaries for your operating system from the Releases page.

1. Go to the Releases page of the GitHub repository.
2. Download the appropriate binary for your operating system (e.g., openai_cli-windows-amd64.exe for Windows, openai_cli-darwin-amd64 for macOS, or openai_cli-linux-amd64 for Linux).
3. Place the downloaded binary in a directory that's included in your system's PATH environment variable.

To use the OpenAI CLI, you'll need an API key from OpenAI. If you don't have one yet, you can sign up for an account and obtain an API key from the OpenAI website.

You can use the chat command along with the --prompt flag to interact with the OpenAI API. Here's an example of how to use it:

$ OPENAI_API_KEY=your_token_here openai_cli chat --prompt='Something interesting'

Replace your_token_here with your actual OpenAI API key.

Alternatively, you can pass the prompt through STDIN. Create a file (e.g., prompt_file.txt) containing your prompt text, and then use the following command:

$ cat prompt_file.txt | openai_cli

This will read the contents of prompt_file.txt and use it as the prompt for interacting with the OpenAI API.
