how codex CLI works actually?

[velvet pebble]

just a noob question

the codex CLI , which is open-sourced by the openai

I want to understand it deeply, I mean I have seen some videso where you can ask it
"explain me the current project" / "explain me current codebase"

so here current project refers to your current directory, and then it analyzes each and every files in your folder

and ofcourse it uses the GPT model to understand the code

but how a CLI tool is able to give this permissions to let that API uses your current local info

[velvet pebble]

there is no such kind of things there

Yh I figured that need to study

check this
https://github.com/microsoft/Codex-CLI/tree/main

i mean the code is a bit better to form inution on how the cli commands run

but in open ai hey are maybe using node/python

[velvet pebble]

openai has 2 options actually

one with typescript and another with rust
