git-police 0.1.5

A package that prevents AI slop by asking you questions about your code changes before allowing you to commit

Git Police

Git Police is a commit-time assistant designed to prevent low-quality or AI-slop code from being pushed. It challenges you with a senior-developer style question about your changes and only allows the commit when you demonstrate understanding of the code.

It supports both local models via Ollama and remote evaluation using Gemini.

Installation

Install inside your virtual environment

pip install git-police

Initialization

Run once inside a git repository

git-police init

This sets up the Git hook that triggers the code-understanding check before each commit.

To run global mode (Gemini only)

1. Export your GEMINI_API_KEY

export GEMINI_API_KEY="your_api_key"

2. Run a commit with global mode enabled

GIT_POLICE_MODE=global git commit -m "msg"

To run a different Ollama model

By default, Git Police uses phi4-mini:latest. To use a different local model:

1. Ensure you have ollama in your system
2. pull the model you want to use
3. Commit using the model

You can either use

GIT_POLICE_MODEL="your_model" git commit -m "msg"

To use the model

Or set it up once

export GIT_POLICE_MODEL="your_model"

and now you can commit as normal and it will use your specified model

Adjusting Maximum Characters Sent to the Local Model

If you want faster responses from your local model, you can reduce the number of characters sent:

MAX_CHAR=5000 GIT_POLICE_MODEL="your_model" git commit -m "msg"

Adjust MAX_CHAR as needed

Bypassing the Check (Emergency Commits)

If you encounter hallucinations or need to bypass Git Police temporarily:

git commit -m "your msg" --no-verify
