cmt-cli

AI-powered CLI tool that analyzes your staged Git changes and suggests a professional commit message.

Note: cmt-cli is in alpha. Expect breaking changes, rough edges, and incomplete features until a stable release.

Features

• Analyzes staged Git changes (added, modified, deleted, and renamed files, plus diffs)
• Generates a commit message and description using OpenAI (via LangChain)
• Review, edit (in vim), or reject the suggested message before committing
• Caches suggestions per diff/model to avoid redundant API calls
• Simple configuration for your OpenAI API key and model ``

Stage your changes as usual, then run:

git add .
cmt suggest

You'll be shown a suggested commit message and can choose to:
