Cha CLI

A lightweight CLI AI chat tool meant to keep the human in control during vibe-coding — explicit context, model/provider switching, history, local options — instead of burning money on fully autonomous agents. Open-sourced at github.com/MehmetMHY/cha. Note: Cha was later marked deprecated in favor of successor Ch (Aug 2025).

Build story Shared on r/vibecoding as an OSS CLI for controlled vibe-coding workflows: chat in the terminal, load files/dirs, scrape, switch models, keep history. Built for daily personal use and published for others in the same money-pit loop.
