Gitzen is a CLI tool that uses AI to automatically generate well-formatted git commit messages. It's currently in development but fully usable for daily workflows.

What is Gitzen?

Gitzen is a command-line tool that integrates with popular AI providers like Google Gemini to automatically generate concise and well-formatted git commit messages . No more staring at a blank commit message wondering what to write!

Key Features

The CLI provides four core commands:

gitzen start - Initialize configuration and setup
gitzen commit - Generate AI-powered commit messages from staged changes
gitzen summarize - Get summaries of changes in staging/working directory
gitzen batch - Automatically group unstaged changes into logical commits

Quick Start

Install globally via npm:

npm install -g gitzen

Initialize the configuration:

gitzen start

Then use it for your commits:

# Stage your changes
git add .

# Let AI generate the commit message
gitzen commit

Development Status

⚠️ Important: Gitzen is currently in active development (version 0.1.2) but is stable and usable for daily development workflows. The core functionality works reliably, though new features and improvements are being added regularly.

Why Gitzen?

Smart AI Integration: Works with Google Gemini and other AI providers
Customizable: Supports different commit templates and languages
Batch Processing: Intelligently groups related changes
Developer-Friendly: Simple CLI interface with helpful prompts

The tool uses a modular architecture with clear separation between CLI interface, Git operations, and AI integration, making it reliable and extensible.

Try It Out

Give Gitzen a try in your next project! While it's still evolving, the current version provides solid functionality for automating one of the most tedious parts of the development workflow.
