Prerequisites

Ensure you have Python 3.x installed. If not, download and install it from Python's official site.

Installation 📦

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/krjordan/GitLexPy.git
cd GitLexPy

2. Install the required dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage 🚀

To generate an AI-based commit message based on your git diff:

python3 gitlex.py --path /path/to/your/repo

Arguments:

--path (optional): Path to git repository. Default is the current directory. If you want to check if your OpenAI API key is already stored and know where it is stored:

python3 gitlex.py --check-key

Note: The tool will prompt you for the OpenAI API key if it's not found in the configuration file. Your API key will be stored locally in the .gitlex-config.json file.

API Key Configuration 🔑

For GitLexPy to work, you'll need an OpenAI API key.

1. Sign up for an API key with OpenAI.
2. Once you've obtained your key, run GitLex for the first time, and it will prompt you to enter it. Your key will be stored locally and securely in .gitlex-config.json for future use.

⚠️ Note: Never share your API key or commit it directly to your codebase.

Development Workflow 🛠

We follow the gitflow workflow. Here's a quick breakdown:

• Develop: This is the main development branch where all the changes are merged into.
• Release: When develop is stable and ready for a release, it's branched to release for final testing.
• Main: Once testing is complete and everything is stable, release is merged into main, triggering a deployment to PyPI via GitHub Actions.

Contributing 🤝
