AI-powered Git commit workflow tool

Project description

Smart Git Commit 🚀

An AI-powered Git workflow tool that intelligently analyzes your changes, groups them into logical commits, and generates detailed conventional commit messages.

Features

  • 🤖 AI-Powered Analysis: Leverages Ollama models to understand your code changes
  • 🔍 Intelligent Grouping: Organizes changes into logical, atomic commits
  • 📝 Conventional Commits: Generates structured commit messages following the convention
  • 🔄 Tech Stack Detection: Automatically adapts to different programming languages and frameworks
  • 🚀 GPU Acceleration: Uses hardware acceleration for faster processing
  • Fallback Mechanism: Works even without AI using rule-based analysis
  • 🎯 Smart Change Importance: Prioritizes changes based on impact analysis
  • 🧩 Component Detection: Identifies file components based on project structure

Prerequisites

Basic Requirements

  • Python 3.7+
  • Git (installed and available in PATH)

    • Follow the installation instructions for your platform
  2. Start the Ollama server:

    ollama serve
    
  3. Pull at least one model:

    # Pull a recommended model

Example Commit

Here's an example of a commit message generated by Smart Git Commit:

feat(api-auth): Add JWT token validation middleware

Implement secure JWT token validation with proper error handling and 
expiration checks. Add support for refresh tokens with configurable 
lifetime settings.

Affected files:
- M src/auth/jwt_validator.js
- M src/middleware/auth.js
- + src/utils/token_helpers.js
- M config/auth.json

Fixes #123

How It Works

Workflow Overview

  1. Load Changes: Detects all modified and untracked files in the Git repository
  2. Analyze Changes: Examines each file's content, language, and importance
  3. Group Changes: Organizes related files into logical, atomic commits
  4. Generate Commit Messages: Creates detailed, conventional commit messages
  5. Execute Commits: Handles the git staging and commit process

Change Analysis

The tool analyzes changes through multiple dimensions:

  • File Status: Checks if files are modified, added, or deleted
  • Language Detection: Identifies programming languages based on file extensions
  • Component Recognition: Maps files to logical components (e.g., docs, tests, api)
  • Tech Stack Detection: Detects project technologies (e.g., Python, Node.js, React)
  • Importance Rating: With AI, assesses the impact and significance of each change

Intelligent Grouping

Changes are grouped based on:

  • Component Coherence: Files from the same component are grouped together
  • Logical Relationship: AI analyzes file dependencies and relationships
  • Change Size Management: Large groups are split into smaller, coherent commits
  • Commit Type Assignment: Each group is assigned a conventional commit type (feat, fix, etc.)

Ollama LLM Integration

When using AI mode (default):

  1. Smart Git Commit connects to Ollama's API
  2. Available LLM models are detected automatically
  3. The selected model analyzes file changes and content
  4. AI determines logical groupings and generates commit descriptions
  5. GPU acceleration is used when available

Non-AI Fallback

When AI is unavailable or disabled:

  1. Files are grouped by component/directory
  2. Commit types are assigned based on file paths and extensions
  3. Basic commit messages are generated using rule-based templates
  4. The user can interactively refine the commit details

Interactive Workflow

In interactive mode (default):

  1. Each commit group is presented for review
  2. You can approve, skip, or edit the commit details
  3. Edit options include changing the commit name, type, description, and issue references
  4. The tool handles staging and committing the files
  5. You can review the final commit before proceeding to the next group

Project Structure

  • CommitType Enum: Defines conventional commit types (feat, fix, docs, etc.)
  • GitChange Class: Represents a changed file with metadata
  • CommitGroup Class: Groups related changes for a single commit
  • OllamaClient Class: Handles communication with Ollama API
  • SmartGitCommitWorkflow Class: Orchestrates the entire commit process

Advanced Usage

Using Custom Ollama Endpoints

# Use a different Ollama host
smart-git-commit --ollama-host http://custom-ollama-server:11434

Non-Interactive Automation

# For CI/CD or automated scripts
smart-git-commit --non-interactive

Working with Multiple Repositories

# Specify the repository path
smart-git-commit --repo-path /path/to/your/repository

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Error: "No models found in Ollama"

  • Make sure Ollama is running: ollama serve
  • Check that you have at least one model installed: ollama list
  • If no models are available, pull one: ollama pull llama3

Error: "Failed to get models from Ollama API"

  • Check that the Ollama server is accessible on the specified host
  • Default location is http://localhost:11434
  • Verify your network connection allows access to the Ollama server
  • Try restarting the Ollama server: ollama serve

Error: "Failed to generate text with Ollama"

  • The model might be too large for your hardware
  • Try a smaller model like gemma:2b or tinyllama
  • Check Ollama server logs for any errors or memory issues

Connection Timeouts

  • If you experience connection timeouts with Ollama, you can adjust the timeout parameter:
    # Increase the timeout to 30 seconds
    smart-git-commit --timeout 30
    
  • For slow networks or large models, a longer timeout may be necessary

Ollama Connection Issues

If you encounter issues connecting to Ollama:

  1. Ensure Ollama is running: ollama serve
  2. Check that you have at least one model: ollama list
  3. Try specifying the host explicitly: --ollama-host http://localhost:11434
  4. Check for firewall or network issues if using a remote server

Falling Back to Non-AI Mode

If AI analysis isn't working properly:

# Run with fallback mode explicitly
smart-git-commit --no-ai

System Requirements

  • Minimum: Python 3.7+, Git, 4GB RAM
  • Recommended for AI mode:
    • 8GB+ RAM
    • An Ollama-compatible system
    • Internet connection (for initial model download)

To-Do / Future Features

Here are some planned enhancements and features for future releases:

  • GitHub/GitLab Integration: Automatic issue linking and PR description generation
  • Commit Squashing: Intelligently squash related commits for cleaner history
  • Multiple AI Backends: Support for additional AI providers beyond Ollama (like OpenAI, Anthropic, or local models)
  • Interactive TUI Mode: Text-based user interface for easier navigation through changes
  • Custom Commit Templates: Support for user-defined commit templates and conventions
  • Config File Support: Persistent user configurations and project-specific settings
  • Pre-commit Hook Integration: Run as a Git hook for seamless workflow integration
  • Bulk Processing Mode: Process multiple repositories in batch mode for organization-wide standards
  • Plugin System: Allow extensions to add custom functionality
  • Performance Optimization: Faster processing of large repositories with many changes
