📖 Command Reference

gitdude push

AI-generates a commit message for your changes, lets you confirm/edit, then commits and pushes.

gitdude push                      # Stage all → AI commit → push
gitdude push --no-confirm         # Skip confirmation
gitdude push --dry-run            # Preview only, don't execute
gitdude push --style freeform     # Use freeform (not conventional) commit style

Commit types (conventional): feat, fix, chore, docs, refactor, style, test, perf, ci

---

gitdude sync

Fetch + rebase. If there are merge conflicts, AI explains what's conflicting and gives exact resolution steps.

gitdude sync
gitdude sync --dry-run

---

gitdude back

Shows last 30 commits in a table. Pick one to go back to, choose a mode.

gitdude back
gitdude back --dry-run

Modes: soft (keep changes staged), hard (discard changes), checkout (detached HEAD), branch (new branch from that commit)

---

gitdude undo "<description>"

Describe what went wrong — AI reads your log and reflog to determine the safest recovery.

gitdude undo "I accidentally committed my .env file"
gitdude undo "I deleted the wrong branch"
gitdude undo "I made a mess of the last 3 commits" --dry-run

---

gitdude do "<natural language>"

Convert plain English into a sequence of git commands, preview, then execute.

gitdude do "stash my changes, switch to main, pull latest"
gitdude do "create a new branch called feature/auth and push it"
gitdude do "squash my last 3 commits" --dry-run

If any command fails, AI reads the error and suggests a fix.

---

gitdude review

Diffs your current branch vs main/master, then AI reviews for bugs, security issues, and quality.

gitdude review
gitdude review --base develop     # Compare against a different branch
gitdude review --dry-run          # Show diff without AI review

Review sections: Summary · ⚠️ Potential Bugs · 🔒 Security Issues · 📏 Code Quality · 🔍 Things to Check · ✅ Overall Assessment

---

gitdude pr

Generates a complete PR title + description + bullet list + testing notes. Auto-copies to clipboard.

gitdude pr
gitdude pr --base develop         # Compare against develop
gitdude pr --no-copy              # Don't copy to clipboard

---

gitdude explain

Reads your last 5 reflog entries and explains in plain English what happened.

gitdude explain

---

gitdude whoops

Emergency recovery. Feeds git status + log + reflog to AI. Diagnoses what went wrong and gives step-by-step recovery.

gitdude whoops
gitdude whoops --dry-run          # Diagnose only, don't execute

---

gitdude config

Interactive configuration wizard.

gitdude config                    # Run setup
gitdude config --show             # Print current config (keys masked)
gitdude config --reset            # Wipe config and redo setup

Stored settings:

• AI provider (gemini / groq / ollama / openai)
• API key per provider
• Model name per provider
• Default branch (main or master)
• Commit style (conventional or freeform)

🏗️ Architecture

gitdude/
├── main.py        # Typer app — all command definitions
├── ai.py          # Unified AI provider wrapper (ask_ai)
├── git_ops.py     # GitPython operations (diff, log, push, reset…)
├── config.py      # Config at ~/.gitdude/config.json
└── utils.py       # Rich panels, tables, prompts, helpers

AI Providers (ai.py):

Provider	SDK	Default Model	Speed	Cost
gemini	google-generativeai	gemini-2.0-flash	Fast	Free tier
groq	groq	llama-3.3-70b-versatile	Fastest	Free tier
ollama	ollama	llama3	Local	Free (local)
openai	openai	gpt-4o-mini	Fast	Pay per use

All providers go through a single interface: ask_ai(prompt) -> str with spinner feedback and unified error handling.

🛡️ Safety Features

• ✅ All destructive operations (hard reset, force push, etc.) require explicit confirmation
• ✅ --dry-run flag available on all mutating commands
• ✅ Color-coded risk levels — green (safe), yellow (caution), red (destructive)
• ✅ No tracebacks — all exceptions caught and shown as friendly Rich error panels
• ✅ API keys stored privately in ~/.gitdude/config.json, never in project files
