Automate Your Git Commits with AI - Introducing `git-ai-commit

syedharis14 — Thu, 27 Mar 2025 06:10:07 +0000

Writing commit messages can be tedious, and maintaining consistency in commit logs is often overlooked. That’s why I built git-ai-commit – an AI-powered CLI tool that generates meaningful, structured commit messages based on staged changes. 📝✨

🎯 Why `git-ai-commit`?

Saves Time – No need to think about commit messages manually!
Consistent Messages – Follows Conventional Commits format.
Multi-Language Support – Generate commit messages in English, French, Spanish, Urdu, Arabic, and more!
Auto-Commit – Directly commit without manual approval.
Usage Tracking – View CLI usage statistics.
Smart AI Processing – Analyzes git diff and suggests precise messages.

🛠️ Installation

Install git-ai-commit globally using NPM:

npm install -g @syedharis14/git-ai-commit

🚀 How to Use It

1️⃣ Generate an AI-powered commit message

git-ai-commit generate

2️⃣ Auto-commit using AI-generated message

git-ai-commit generate --auto-commit

3️⃣ Copy commit message to clipboard

git-ai-commit generate --copy

4️⃣ Generate message in a specific language

git-ai-commit generate --lang fr

5️⃣ View usage statistics

git-ai-commit stats

🔍 How It Works

git-ai-commit fetches the staged git diff.
It sends the diff to OpenAI’s API for analysis.
AI generates a Conventional Commit-style message.
The message is displayed, copied, or committed automatically.

📦 Example Commit Message

Before:

git add .
git-ai-commit generate

AI Response:

feat(auth): add OAuth2 login endpoint

📌 Configuration

Create a .git-ai-commitrc in your project to customize behavior:

{
  "model": "gpt-4o",
  "maxLines": 100,
  "autoCommit": false,
  "copy": false,
  "lang": "en",
  "analytics": true
}
