I really like the simplicity of this app but I simply hate emoji in my terminal. Therefore this fork seeks to add some personal customizations to fix things I dislike.

• Syntax highlights
• Chat history
• Save chats to files
• Vim keybinding (most common ops)
• Copy text from/to clipboard (works only on the prompt)
• Multiple backends
• Automatically load the last saved chat into history

• ChatGPT
• llama.cpp
• ollama

You can download the pre-built binaries from the release page

tenere can be installed from crates.io

cargo install tenere

Tenere is available in nixpkgs and can be installed via configuration.nix:

environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [
  tenere
];

For non-NixOS systems, install directly with:

nix-env -iA nixpkgs.tenere

Tenere works on Android via nix-on-droid (demo).

To set up (tutorial):

1. Install nix-on-droid from F-Droid
2. Add tenere to your packages in ".config/nixpkgs/nix-on-droid.nix":
3. Run nix-on-droid switch
4. Create your config at ".config/tenere/config.toml"

brew install tenere

To build from the source, you need Rust compiler and Cargo package manager.

Once Rust and Cargo are installed, run the following command to build:

cargo build --release

This will produce an executable file at target/release/tenere that you can copy to a directory in your $PATH.

Tenere can be configured using a TOML configuration file. By default, the configuration file is located at:

• Linux: $HOME/.config/tenere/config.toml or $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/tenere/config.toml
• Mac: $HOME/Library/Application Support/tenere/config.toml
• Windows: ~/AppData/Roaming/tenere/config.toml

You can optionally specify a custom path for the configuration file using the -c flag. This allows you to override the default configuration file location.

# Use the default configuration path
tenere

# Specify a custom configuration path
tenere -c ~/path/to/custom/config.toml

Here are the available general settings:

• llm: the llm model name. Possible values are:
  • chatgpt
  • llamacpp
  • ollama

llm  = "chatgpt"

Tenere supports customizable key bindings. You can modify some of the default key bindings by updating the [key_bindings] section in the configuration file. Here is an example with the default key bindings

[key_bindings]
show_help = '?'
show_history = 'h'
new_chat = 'n'

Note

To avoid overlapping with vim key bindings, you need to use ctrl + key except for help ?.

To use chatgpt as the backend, you'll need to provide an API key for OpenAI. There are two ways to do this:

Set an environment variable with your API key:

export OPENAI_API_KEY="YOUTR KEY HERE"

Or

Include your API key in the configuration file:

[chatgpt]
openai_api_key = "Your API key here"
model = "gpt-3.5-turbo"
url = "https://api.openai.com/v1/chat/completions"

The default model is set to gpt-3.5-turbo. Check out the OpenAI documentation for more info.

To use llama.cpp as the backend, you'll need to provide the url that points to the server :

[llamacpp]
url = "http://localhost:8080/v1/chat/completions"

If you configure the server with an api key, then you need to provide it as well:

Setting an environment variable :

export LLAMACPP_API_KEY="YOUTR KEY HERE"

Or

Include your API key in the configuration file:

[llamacpp]
url = "http://localhost:8080/v1/chat/completions"
api_key = "Your API Key here"

More infos about llama.cpp api here

To use ollama as the backend, you'll need to provide the url that points to the server with the model name :

[ollama]
url = "http://localhost:11434/api/chat"
model = "Your model name here"
