## Config
On first launch, aichat will guide you through configuration.
```
> No config file, create a new one? Yes
> Openai API Key: sk-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
> Use proxy? Yes
> Set proxy: socks5://127.0.0.1:1080
> Save chat messages Yes
```
After setting, it will automatically create the configuration file. Of course, you can also manually set the configuration file.
```yaml
api_key: "<YOUR SECRET API KEY>" # Request via https://platform.openai.com/account/api-keys
temperature: 1.0 # optional, see https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference/chat/create#chat/create-temperature
save: true # optional, If set to true, aichat will save chat messages to message.md
no_highlight: false # optional, Whether to disable highlight
proxy: "socks5://127.0.0.1:1080" # optional, set proxy server. e.g. http://127.0.0.1:8080 or socks5://127.0.0.1:1080
```
The default config dir is as follows, You can override config dir with `$AICHAT_CONFIG_DIR`.
- Linux: `/home/alice/.config/aichat`
- Windows: `C:\Users\Alice\AppData\Roaming\aichat`
- MacOS: `/Users/Alice/Library/Application Support`
aichat may generate the following files in the config dir:
- `config.yaml`: the config file.
- `roles.yaml`: the roles definition file.
- `history.txt`: the repl history file.
- `messages.md`: the chat messages storage file.
### Roles
We can let ChatGPT play a certain role through `prompt` to make it better generate what we want. See [awesome-chatgpt-prompts](https://github.com/f/awesome-chatgpt-prompts) for details.
We can predefine a batch of roles in `roles.yaml`. For example, we define a javascript-console role as follows.
```yaml
- name: javascript-console
prompt: >
I want you to act as a javascript console. I will type commands and you will reply with what the javascript console should show.
I want you to only reply with the terminal output inside one unique code block, and nothing else.
do not write explanations. do not type commands unless I instruct you to do so.
when i need to tell you something in english, i will do so by putting text inside curly brackets {like this}.
My first command is:
```
Let ChaGPT answer questions in the role of a javascript-console.
```
aichat --role javascript-console console.log("Hello World")
```
In interactive mode, we do this:
```
〉.role javascript-console
〉console.log("Hello world")
```
