AI-Commit: The Commit Message Generator

💻 Tired of writing boring commit messages? Let AI-Commit help!

This package uses the power of OpenAI's GPT-3 model to understand your code changes and generate meaningful commit messages for you. Whether you're working on a solo project or collaborating with a team, AI-Commit makes it easy to keep your commit history organized and informative.

Demo

How it Works

1. Install AI-Commit using npm install -g ai-commit
2. Generate an OpenAI API key here
3. Set your OPENAI_API_KEY environment variable to your API key
4. Make your code changes and stage them with git add .
5. Type ai-commit in your terminal
6. AI-Commit will analyze your changes and generate a commit message
7. Approve the commit message and AI-Commit will create the commit for you ✅

Using local model (ollama)

You can also use the local model for free with Ollama.

1. Install AI-Commit using npm install -g ai-commit
2. Install Ollama from https://ollama.ai/
3. Run ollama run mistral to fetch model for the first time
4. Set PROVIDER in your environment to ollama
5. Make your code changes and stage them with git add .
6. Type ai-commit in your terminal
7. AI-Commit will analyze your changes and generate a commit message
8. Approve the commit message and AI-Commit will create the commit for you ✅

Options

--list: Select from a list of 5 generated messages (or regenerate the list)

--force: Automatically create a commit without being prompted to select a message (can't be used with --list)

--filter-fee: Displays the approximate fee for using the API and prompts you to confirm the request

--apiKey: Your OpenAI API key. It is not recommended to pass apiKey here, it is better to use env variable

--emoji: Add a gitmoji to the commit message

--template: Specify a custom commit message template. e.g. --template "Modified {GIT_BRANCH} | {COMMIT_MESSAGE}"

--language: Specify the language to use for the commit message(default: english). e.g. --language english

--commit-type: Specify the type of commit to generate. This will be used as the type in the commit message e.g. --commit-type feat
