LLMO – An LLM pair programmer in your terminal

LLMO (Elmo) is an AI pair programming tool I created that's become an indispensable part of my workflow.

LLMO is designed to meet you where you are – your terminal. It provides real-time, interactive programming assistance. With its "staging area" feature, you can keep files in the context window and update the AI about your ongoing coding tasks without the hassle of copying and pasting every time you make changes to your code.

Key features include: - Interactive Chat: Get real-time programming assistance directly in your terminal. - Staging Area: No need to copy and paste updates. Simply add your files to the AI's context. - Model Customization: Choose the OpenAI model that fits your needs. - Personality: By default, Elmo loves to make bodybuilding references. You can turn this off through a CLI flag or environment variable

The recommended way to install LLMO is via `pipx install llmo` https://pypa.github.io/pipx/

As a sidenote, LLMO uses Textual which runs the terminal in application mode, meaning that you can't simply copy content as you would normally. In iterm2, you can hold down the `option` key to select text. You'll need to refer to the documentation for your own terminal for more information.

I hope you find LLMO as useful as I have!
