⚙️ How It Works

1. Detects changes in tracked repositories
2. Syncs with remote using git pull
3. Analyzes git diff using Gemini AI
4. Generates a contextual commit message

🛠️ Usage

Command	What it does	When to use
autocommit setup	Launches interactive wizard to connect GitHub, select repos, and configure schedule	First-time setup or reconfiguration
autocommit add [path]	Adds a local Git repository to tracking (defaults to current folder)	When starting a new project you want automated
autocommit run	Manually scans repos, commits changes, and pushes to GitHub	Testing or forcing an immediate commit
autocommit dashboard	Displays last 50 commits with stats (user vs activity)	Monitoring activity and verifying behavior
autocommit status	Lists all tracked repositories and their state	Checking what the bot is managing
autocommit enable	Activates automation via scheduler (logon/time-based)	Turning on background automation
autocommit disable	Stops automation and removes scheduled task	Temporarily or permanently stopping the bot
autocommit restore	Restores a previous backup and force-pushes to GitHub	Rolling back unwanted changes or commits
autocommit uninstall	Removes the scheduler task and fully uninstalls the bot via pip	Cleanly removing AutoCommitBot from your system

---

⚠️ Notes

• Automation runs only on tracked repositories
• restore performs a force push (overwrites remote history)
• run is for manual triggering, not regular use
• Internet connection required for full functionality
• Always use autocommit uninstall instead of pip uninstall directly — running pip uninstall alone will leave an orphaned task in Windows Task Scheduler that silently fails on every trigger
