Commi: AI-powered Git Commit Message Generator

Commi is an AI-powered tool that automatically generates Git commit messages based on your code changes. It uses Google's Gemini AI to analyze your Git diffs and suggest meaningful, descriptive commit messages. Commi helps save time and ensures your commit history is consistent and descriptive.

Features

• AI-powered commit message generation: Suggest commit messages based on the code changes using Google's Gemini AI.
• Staged changes support: Generate commit messages based on the current staged changes.
• Direct commit: Generate and commit the suggested commit message directly to your repository.
• Clipboard integration: Optionally copy the generated commit message to your clipboard for easy pasting.

3. Build the executable:

   ./build.sh
   # This aslo will move the excutable to `/usr/local/bin`
   

4. Run the executable:

   # Inside a repo you can do

   # or run it from everywhere and pass the repo path as an argument
   commi --repo "/path/to/your/repo" --commit

You can install Commi using pip:

# Inside a repo you can do
commi --generate
# or run it from everywhere and pass the repo path as an argument
commi --repo "/path/to/your/repo" --generate

Install the binary

You can also download the pre-built binary for your system from the releases page.

Now you're ready to use Commi!

Usage

After installation, you can use the command-line interface (CLI) to generate commit messages.

Basic Usage

To generate a commit message based on the latest changes in your repository:

commi --repo "/path/to/your/repo"

Use Staged Changes

If you want to generate a commit message based on the staged changes:

commi --repo "/path/to/your/repo" --cached

Set an API Key

You can provide your API key directly via the --api-key option:

commi --repo "/path/to/your/repo" --api-key "your_api_key"

Alternatively, you can set the API key as an environment variable:

export API_KEY="your_api_key"
commi --repo "/path/to/your/repo"

If no API key is provided, a default API key will be used.

Copy the Commit Message to Clipboard

To copy the generated commit message to your clipboard, use the --copy flag:

commi --repo "/path/to/your/repo" --copy

This requires the installation of xclip (on Linux systems). If it's not installed, Commi will attempt to install it automatically.

Regenerate a Commit Message

To regenerate the commit message, you can use the --regenerate flag, which will generate a new commit message based on the latest changes.

commi --repo "/path/to/your/repo" --regenerate

Commit the suggested Commit Message

To commit the generated commit message, use the --commit flag:

commi --repo "/path/to/your/repo" --commit

Configuration

Commi uses a .env file to configure certain settings. You can modify the following settings:

• API_KEY: Your Gemini AI API key.
• MODEL_NAME: The AI model to use for commit message generation (e.g., gemini-1.5-flash).
