Rho (ρ) - Terminal AI Agent

Rho is a terminal-based AI agent powered by Google Gemini that helps you understand and modify codebases.

Features

• Chat with Rho about your code to understand how it works
• Ask Rho to explore your codebase and explain code structure
• Create new files with Rho's help
• Make edits to existing files
• Works in any directory on your system

Installation

Global Installation (Recommended)

Install Rho globally to use it from any directory:

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/rho-agent.git
cd rho-agent

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Build the project
npm run build

Set up your API key

Rho requires a Google API key to function. You can either:

1. Create a .rho-agent.env file in your home directory:

   GOOGLE_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
   

2. Set the environment variable before running:

   export GOOGLE_API_KEY=your_api_key_here

3. Create a .env file in the directory where you run Rho:

   GOOGLE_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
   

Usage

Once installed globally, simply run rho in any directory:

cd your-project
rho

Rho will start analyzing your code and answering your questions.
