OpenCommit: CLI to generate impressive commits in 1 second with GPT 🤯🔫 (v 2.0)

first — let's grow my twitter, so i can tell about my inventions quicker and make the world even better place (or not, idk)

---

A month ago I opensourced OpenCommit.

Previous post got 60k views and 280 likes. Now OpenCommit is 2.6k stars.

I've merged 39 PRs and here is what's new:

• if you change model to GPT-4 — it answers WHY changes were done 🤯
• locale support of 10 languages.
• select files you want to stage and commit.
• choose a remote you want to push to.
• OpenCommit now uses tiktoken to accurately count openAI tokens.
• better large diffs splitting (you can commit changes of any size)
• add any git commit arguments to oc <...args> it will be passed to git commit <...args>.
• hook now works on all platforms, run oc hook set to integrate OpenCommit into IDE Source Control.

Well this is it so far, thanks to all the contributors <3 Feel free to PR!

How to install OpenCommit

Simply install it globally with npm, to use in any repo:

npm i -g opencommit

After installing type oc and hit "Enter" in a terminal:

oc

If you want to edit a commit and make OpenCommit to be used by your IDE do:

oc hook set

That's it — have fun ;)

I installed it a few weeks ago and love it, how do I update it to use GPT-4?

[Dima Sukharev]

here you go github.com/di-sukharev/opencommit#...

[Eliazer Braun]

How do you switch back to 3.5?
oc config set model=gpt-3.5 ?

[Vlad]

oc config set model=gpt-3.5-turbo

[Eliazer Braun]

Thanks,
I am getting this error
└ ✖ Error: Unsupported config key: model

I don't use commits frequently in my work, but it seems that it saves a lot of time.

[Dmitry i]

Congrats with new version

[Moulick Aggarwal]

What are its pros and cons vs the aicommits project?

[Dima Sukharev]

with OC you can commit extremely large batches of files, more CLI features for your convenience, localisation for 10+ languages, lots of settings like switching to GPT-4 (which understands WHY changes were done)

[Роман Чернышов]

I've tried it and even returned back to say thanks!

[Dima Sukharev]

thats great!

[Anatoli Babenia]

Is there an offline version that doesn't share code with OpenAI servers?

[Dima Sukharev]

nope, but PRs are welcome <3

[Anatoli Babenia]

Do you know what to include in the PR?

[rutexd]

Commit messages should describe why code is changed, not what is changed...

[Dima Sukharev]

it does if you switch to GPT-4 via the settings

[RN]

Would like to see examples that are more complex than "remove / add something".

[Hưng Võ Chánh]

However may be OC has read your production code

[Dima Sukharev]

its open-source bro, check the code lol

[Sergey Bunas]

nice! I mean really nice!
