A git commit message generator for personal use.

Project description

lazy-commit

A smart git commit message generator that uses AI to create high-quality commit messages following the Conventional Commits specification. It analyzes your git changes and automatically generates descriptive commit messages.

Features

  • 🤖 AI-Powered: Uses OpenAI-compatible APIs to generate intelligent commit messages
  • 📝 Conventional Commits: Follows the Conventional Commits specification format
  • 🎯 Smart File Analysis: Automatically analyzes changed files and generates appropriate diffs
  • 🚫 Intelligent Filtering: Excludes lock files and binary files from analysis while still including them in commits
  • Context Compression: Automatically compresses large diffs to fit within token limits
  • 🔄 Auto-Push Support: Optional automatic push to remote repository after commit
  • 🎨 Rich UI: Beautiful command-line interface with progress bars and status indicators
  • 📊 File Status Display: Shows modified, added, and deleted files with clear indicators

Installation

Using uv (recommended)

uv tool install lazy-commit
uv tool upgrade lazy-commit

From source

git clone https://github.com/QIN2DIM/lazy-commit.git
cd lazy-commit
uv sync

Configuration

Set the required environment variables:

# For OpenAI API
export LAZY_COMMIT_OPENAI_BASE_URL="https://api.openai.com/v1"
export LAZY_COMMIT_OPENAI_API_KEY="your-openai-api-key"
export LAZY_COMMIT_OPENAI_MODEL_NAME="gpt-4o-mini"

# For free models via OpenRouter
export LAZY_COMMIT_OPENAI_BASE_URL="https://openrouter.ai/api/v1"
export LAZY_COMMIT_OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-or-v1-xxx"
export LAZY_COMMIT_OPENAI_MODEL_NAME="moonshotai/kimi-k2:free"

# For Chinese users - free models via ModelScope
export LAZY_COMMIT_OPENAI_BASE_URL="https://api-inference.modelscope.cn/v1"
export LAZY_COMMIT_OPENAI_API_KEY="ms-xxx"
export LAZY_COMMIT_OPENAI_MODEL_NAME="Qwen/Qwen3-30B-A3B-Instruct-2507"

# Optional: Set maximum context size (default: 32000)
export LAZY_COMMIT_MAX_CONTEXT_SIZE=32000

# Optional: Bypass system proxy for LAN endpoints (default: false)
# Useful when accessing internal model endpoints via VPN
export LAZY_COMMIT_BYPASS_PROXY=true

Environment File

You can also create a .env file in your project root:

For OpenRouter (free models):

LAZY_COMMIT_OPENAI_BASE_URL=https://openrouter.ai/api/v1
LAZY_COMMIT_OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-or-v1-xxx
LAZY_COMMIT_OPENAI_MODEL_NAME=moonshotai/kimi-k2:free

For Chinese users - ModelScope (free models):

LAZY_COMMIT_OPENAI_BASE_URL="https://api-inference.modelscope.cn/v1"
LAZY_COMMIT_OPENAI_API_KEY="ms-xxx"
LAZY_COMMIT_OPENAI_MODEL_NAME="Qwen/Qwen3-30B-A3B-Instruct-2507"

Usage

Basic Usage

Generate a commit message only (display message without applying):

commit

or if installed from source:

uv run commit

Stage and Commit

Generate commit message, stage files, and apply commit (without push):

commit --add

Auto-push After Commit

Generate commit message, stage files, apply commit, and push to remote:

commit --push

Note: When --push is enabled, --add is automatically enabled.

How It Works

  1. Repository Detection: Automatically detects git repository root
  2. File Analysis: Scans for modified, staged, and untracked files
  3. Smart Filtering: Excludes files like *.lock, *.ipynb from AI analysis but includes them in commits
  4. Diff Generation: Creates comprehensive diffs for all relevant changes
  5. Context Management: Compresses large diffs to fit within AI model context limits
  6. AI Generation: Uses AI to generate a structured commit message following Conventional Commits
  7. Display Message: Always displays the generated commit message
  8. Optional Staging & Commit: If --add is used, stages all changes and applies the generated commit message
  9. Optional Push: If --push is used, pushes changes to remote repository after commit

Commit Message Format

The tool generates commit messages following the Conventional Commits specification:

<type>(<scope>): <description>

[optional body]

[optional footer]
