Compiled ShellGPT binary

You can build sgpt into a single binary file using pyinstaller. It will include all dependencies along with the Python interpreter, dynamically linked libraries, and the app into a single package.

git clone https://github.com/TheR1D/shell_gpt.git
cd shell_gpt
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install pyinstaller
pip install -e .
cd sgpt
pyinstaller --onefile app.py

This process generates a "dist" directory containing the binary file "app" that you can execute with ./app --help.

Please note:

• The binary will be compatible with the operating system and architecture you compile it on. For example, if you compile your Python script into a binary on a Linux machine, the resulting binary will only be compatible with Linux.
• This method may lead to significant performance degradation.
