git-scribe is a command-line tool that leverages Large Language Models (LLMs) to automatically generate high-quality, conventional commit messages and pull request descriptions. It acts as a smart wrapper around your daily git commands, streamlining your workflow and improving your commit history.

Features

  • AI-Generated Commit Messages: Automatically generates well-formatted commit messages from your staged changes.
  • AI-Generated Pull Requests: Creates detailed pull request titles and bodies from your branch diffs.
  • Full git commit Compatibility: Supports passthrough of common git commit options like --all and --amend.
  • Full gh pr create Compatibility: Supports common gh pr create options like --reviewer, --label, --milestone, and --draft.
  • Interactive Review & Edit: Always prompts you to review and edit the AI-generated content before any action is taken.
  • Customizable Prompts: Easily customize the AI's behavior by editing simple markdown files.

Installation

Prerequisites

1. Install git-scribe

You can install the tool directly from this GitHub repository:

pip install git+https://github.com/popyson1648/git-llm.git

(Note: Once published to PyPI, this will become pip install git-scribe)

2. Initial Setup

After installation, run the init command to create the necessary configuration files:

git-scribe init

This will create a new directory at ~/.config/git-scribe/.

3. Configure API Keys

Open the newly created configuration file at ~/.config/git-scribe/config.toml and add your API keys:

[api_keys]
gemini = "YOUR_GEMINI_API_KEY"
github = "YOUR_GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN"
  • Gemini API Key: Get yours from Google AI Studio.
  • GitHub Personal Access Token: Create one here with repo scope.

Usage

Creating a Commit

  1. Stage your files as you normally would (git add .).
  2. Run the commit command. git-scribe will generate a message for you to review.
git-scribe commit

You can also pass through git commit arguments:

# Commit all tracked files, not just staged ones
git-scribe commit --all

# Amend the previous commit
git-scribe commit --amend

Creating a Pull Request

  1. Push your feature branch to the remote repository.
  2. Run the pr command.
# Create a PR against the 'main' branch
git-scribe pr --base main

Add reviewers, labels, and other attributes just like you would with gh pr create:

git-scribe pr --base main --reviewer <user> --label "bug,enhancement" --draft

Command Reference

git-scribe commit [OPTIONS]

Accepts most standard git commit options, including but not limited to:

  • --all, -a
  • --amend
  • --author=<author>
  • --date=<date>
  • --no-verify

git-scribe pr [OPTIONS]

Accepts the following options, compatible with gh pr create:

  • --base <branch>, -B <branch>
  • --head <branch>, -H <branch>
  • --reviewer <handle>, -r <handle> (can be specified multiple times)
  • --assignee <login>, -a <login> (can be specified multiple times)
  • --label <name>, -l <name> (can be specified multiple times)
  • --milestone <name>, -m <name>
  • --draft, -d

Customization

You can fully customize the AI's tone, language, and output format by editing the prompt files located in ~/.config/git-scribe/.

  • System Prompts (system_*.md): These files instruct the AI on its role and the strict output format it must follow.
  • User Prompts (user_*.md): These files are for you. You can add your own project-specific guidelines, examples, or context to further guide the AI. They are empty by default and can be safely left that way.
