The binary is named gpt when installed, not shell-gpt.

gpt --help

From source

git clone [email protected]:rigwild/shell-gpt-rs.git
cd shell-gpt-rs
cargo install --path .

On first usage, ShellGPT will prompt you to enter your OpenAI API key.

This key will then be saved to ~/.config/shell-gpt-rs, encrypted with ChaCha20-Poly1305, to be reused later.
