Commit with AI

AI-powered git commit message generator supporting multiple AI providers (Gemini API, Claude CLI).

What It Does

Analyzes your staged git changes and generates 5 Conventional Commits-compliant commit message suggestions using AI. Select one or enter your own.

Installation

Via PyPI (Recommended)

# Use uvx (no installation required)
uvx commit-with-ai

# Or install globally
pip install commit-with-ai

From Source

git clone https://github.com/chenwei791129/commit-with-ai.git
cd commit-with-ai
uv run -m commit_with_ai

Setup

Provider Selection

Choose your AI provider via --provider flag or COMMIT_AI_PROVIDER environment variable:

# Use Gemini (default)
commit-with-ai

# Use Claude CLI
commit-with-ai --provider claude-cli

# Or set via environment variable
export COMMIT_AI_PROVIDER="claude-cli"

Priority: --provider flag > COMMIT_AI_PROVIDER env > default (gemini)

Model Selection

Override the default model via --model flag or COMMIT_AI_MODEL environment variable:

# Use a specific model
commit-with-ai --provider claude-cli --model sonnet

# Or set via environment variable
export COMMIT_AI_MODEL="sonnet"

Priority: --model flag > COMMIT_AI_MODEL env > provider default

Gemini Provider (Default)

Set your Gemini API key:

export GEMINI_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"

Get your API key from Google AI Studio.

Setting	Default
Model	gemini-3-flash-preview

Claude CLI Provider

Requires Claude Code installed and authenticated locally. No API key needed — uses your existing Claude CLI credentials.

# Install Claude Code (if not already installed)
npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code

# Authenticate
claude login

Setting	Default
Model	haiku

Configure Git Alias

# If installed via pip
git config --global alias.ac '!commit-with-ai'

# Or if using uvx (no installation)

git ac

# Or with provider/model options
