Configuration
This guide explains how to configure DAI for the first time and how to update your settings later.
Local configuration
DAI stores its configuration locally in:
~/.dai/config.yaml
This file is automatically created when you run:
dai config
Configuration fields
| Field | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
openai_key |
Your OpenAI API key (required for AI features) | sk-1234567890abcdef |
model |
Preferred AI model | gpt-4o-mini |
provider |
(Optional) API provider name | openai |
github_token |
(Optional) GitHub Personal Access Token for GitHub integration | ghp_1234567890abcdef |
Editing the config manually
You can edit the config file directly using your preferred text editor:
nano ~/.dai/config.yaml
Make sure to keep correct YAML formatting.
Resetting configuration
If you want to start fresh:
rm ~/.dai/config.yaml
dai config
This will recreate the config file and start the setup wizard again.
