Add Option to Hide Introductory Text #663

Closed maxbraeutigam closed 3 months ago

maxbraeutigam commented 3 months ago

Hey, aichat is becoming my most important tool in the terminal. I really love it. Thank you very much. ❤️

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Every time I start the aichat CLI, it displays an introductory message. While this message is useful for first-time users, it becomes repetitive and unnecessary for advanced users who are already familiar with its content.

Welcome to aichat 0.18.0
Type ".help" for additional help.

Describe the solution you'd like

I would like to request an option to hide the introductory message when launching the aichat CLI. This could be implemented as a command-line flag (e.g., --no-intro, --quiet) or a configuration setting in a configuration file.

Describe alternatives you've considered

One alternative could be to show the introductory message only the first time aichat is launched or provide an option during the start (e.g., a prompt asking if the user wants to see the introductory message in the future).

Additional context

Adding this feature would enhance the user experience for regular users by streamlining the startup process and focusing on the functionality they use aichat for. It would also keep the interface clean.

Thank you for considering this request.

Many REPLs behave this way.
