Commit Messages

1. Quick commit with AI-generated message:

git add .              # Stage your changes
git ai commit          # Creates a commit with AI-generated message

# Customize the message
git ai commit --shorter          # Get a shorter message
git ai commit --longer           # Get a more detailed message
git ai commit "context here"     # Add custom context

2. Get commit message suggestions:

# Basic usage - suggests message for staged changes
git ai suggest

# Use unstaged changes instead
git ai suggest --unstaged

# Get suggestion for last commit (useful for amending)
git ai suggest --last

# Customize the message
git ai suggest --shorter          # Get a shorter message
git ai suggest --longer           # Get a more detailed message
git ai suggest "context here"     # Add custom context

Understanding the --last flag

The --last flag is used to generate a commit message based on your last commit's changes instead of the current changes in your working directory. This is particularly useful when:

• You want to improve/rewrite the message of your last commit
• You made a quick commit with a poor message and want a better suggestion
• You plan to amend your last commit and want a better message

Without --last (default behavior):

• The tool looks at your current changes (either staged or unstaged)
• Generates a commit message based on what you've modified

With --last:

• The tool looks at your most recent commit (HEAD)
• Shows what changes were made in that commit
• Generates a new commit message for those changes

Example workflow for improving your last commit:

# Get a suggestion for your last commit's changes
git ai suggest --last

# If you like the suggestion, amend your commit with the new message
git commit --amend -m "new message"

Common Workflows

1. Normal commit workflow:

git add .
git ai commit

2. Review and edit suggestion before committing:

git add .
git ai suggest > msg.txt
$EDITOR msg.txt
git commit -F msg.txt
rm msg.txt

3. Amend last commit with better message:

git ai suggest --last
git commit --amend

4. Direct pipe to commit:

git ai suggest | git commit -F -
