Show HN: "GPT Take the Wheel" – write what you want, let GPT implement it

As mentioned in the readme, this was directly inspired by the this project: https://github.com/mpoon/gpt-repository-loader And by the top comment on the HN thread about it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35191303 Thanks to both the creator and commenter there for the idea. This adds another "twist", in that if you run the "take the wheel" version, it'll automatically implement the changes (i.e. overwrite a file with whatever GPT spits out) and show you the git diff. This is obviously potentially unsafe - you're overwriting your files with whatever the LLM spits out, so please be careful and don't run it somewhere with important files, or in a repo with files you wouldn't paste into the chatGPT input box. I wouldn't even install this on a work computer. This is pretty basic and isn't necessarily all that useful for real work, the wor
