git-flash 0.1.5

An AI assistant to handle git commits using FastMCP.

Git MCP Assistant

This tool uses FastMCP and the Google Gemini API to provide an AI-powered git assistant. It can function as an agent to execute a series of git commands based on natural language, or it can be used to simply generate a commit message for your staged changes.

Setup

1. Set Your API Key: This tool requires a Gemini API key. The first time you run it, it will prompt you to enter your key and offer to save it to ~/.config/git-flash/.env. Alternatively, you can set it as an environment variable:

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

2. Install the Package: Navigate to the git-flash directory and install it using pip. Using the -e flag (editable mode) is recommended for development.

   pip install -e .
   

   This command installs the git-flash command into your system's PATH.

Usage

You can run the assistant from within any git repository directory.

Mode 1: Agentic Flow (Natural Language)

Provide an instruction in plain English, and the agent will determine the necessary git commands and execute them one by one.

Examples:

# Create a new branch and switch to it
git flash "create a new feature branch called 'login-flow' and check it out"

# Stash changes, switch branches, and pop the stash
git flash "stash my current work, switch to the 'main' branch, and then apply my stash"

# List all branches, local and remote
git flash "show me all the branches"

Mode 2: Manual Commit Message

If you know what you want to commit, use the -m or --message option. This will stage all current changes and commit with your message.

git flash -m "feat: add user authentication endpoint"

Dry Run

For any of the modes, you can add the --dry-run flag to see what commands the agent would run without actually executing them. This is great for safety and testing.

git flash "create a hotfix branch and merge it into main" --dry-run
