Key Features

🌐 Supported Providers

• Anthropic • Cerebras • Chutes.ai • DeepSeek • Fireworks
• Gemini • Groq • LM Studio • MiniMax • Ollama • OpenAI
• OpenRouter • Streamlake • Synthetic.new • Together AI
• Z.AI • Z.AI Coding • Custom Endpoint (Anthropic/OpenAI)

🧠 Smart LLM Analysis

• Understands intent: Analyzes code structure, logic, and patterns to understand the "why" behind your changes, not just what changed
• Semantic awareness: Recognizes refactoring, bug fixes, features, and breaking changes to generate contextually appropriate messages
• Intelligent filtering: Prioritizes meaningful changes while ignoring generated files, dependencies, and artifacts

📝 Multiple Message Formats

• One-liner (-o flag): Single-line commit message following conventional commit format
• Standard (default): Summary with bullet points explaining implementation details
• Verbose (-v flag): Comprehensive explanations including motivation, technical approach, and impact analysis

💻 Developer Experience

• Interactive feedback: Regenerate messages with specific requests like r "make it shorter" or r "focus on the bug fix"
• One-command workflows: Complete workflows with flags like gac -ayp (stage all, auto-confirm, push)
• Git integration: Respects pre-commit and lefthook hooks, running them before expensive LLM operations

🛡️ Built-in Security

• Automatic secret detection: Scans for API keys, passwords, and tokens before committing
• Interactive protection: Prompts before committing potentially sensitive data with clear remediation options
• Smart filtering: Ignores example files, template files, and placeholder text to reduce false positives

gac -y	Auto-confirm (no review needed)
gac -a	Stage all before generating commit message
gac -o	One-line message for trivial changes
gac -v	Verbose format with Motivation, Technical Approach, and Impact Analysis

gac -p	Commit and push

Power User Examples

# Complete workflow in one command
gac -ayp -h "release preparation"

# Detailed explanation with scope

gac --skip-secret-scan

Interactive Reroll System

Not happy with the result? Use the reroll feature for intelligent regeneration:

# Simple reroll
r

# With specific feedback
r make it shorter and focus on the performance improvement
r use conventional commit format with scope
r explain the security implications

Configuration

Run gac init to configure your provider interactively, or set environment variables:

# Example configuration
GAC_MODEL=anthropic:your-model-name
OPENAI_API_KEY=your_key_here
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your_key_here

See .gac.env.example for all available options.
