🐧 Linux — Installation

Option A — One command (recommended)

curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/charitraa/suggit/main/install.sh | bash

That's it. Downloads all files, installs dependencies, adds aliases automatically.

Option B — Manual

# 1. Clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/charitraa/suggit.git
cd suggit

# 2. Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt --break-system-packages

# 3. Copy all files to /usr/local/bin
sudo cp commit.py git_utils.py ai_suggest.py local_suggest.py ui.py /usr/local/bin/
sudo mv /usr/local/bin/commit.py /usr/local/bin/commit
sudo sed -i 's/\r//' /usr/local/bin/commit
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/commit

# 4. (Optional) Set free Gemini AI key
echo 'export GEMINI_API_KEY="AIza..."' >> ~/.zshrc
source ~/.zshrc

Option C — pip install

pip install suggit

---

🪟 Windows — Installation

Option A — PowerShell

# 1. Clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/charitraa/suggit.git
cd suggit

# 2. Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt

# 3. Create C:\tools\ and copy all files there
mkdir C:\tools
copy *.py C:\tools\

# 4. Create C:\tools\commit.bat with this content:
#    @echo off
#    python "C:\tools\commit.py" %*

# 5. Add C:\tools to PATH
#    Start → "Edit system environment variables"
#    → Environment Variables → System variables → Path → Edit → New → C:\tools

# 6. (Optional) Set free Gemini AI key — add to $PROFILE:
#    $env:GEMINI_API_KEY = "AIza..."

Option B — WSL

Follow the Linux installation steps inside your WSL terminal. Works identically.

🔑 Free Gemini AI Key (Optional but recommended)

Without a key the local engine runs automatically. With a key you get smarter AI suggestions.

1. Go to 👉 aistudio.google.com/apikey
2. Sign in with Google → Create API key → copy it
3. Add to shell:

Linux / macOS

echo 'export GEMINI_API_KEY="AIza..."' >> ~/.zshrc
source ~/.zshrc

Windows PowerShell

# Add to $PROFILE
$env:GEMINI_API_KEY = "AIza..."

Free tier limits:

Model	Requests/min	Requests/day
gemini-2.5-flash	10	500
gemini-2.5-flash-lite	15	1500

For daily commits that's more than enough — completely free, forever.

🚀 Usage

commit              # detect unstaged → ask to stage → suggest → commit
commit --add        # git add . → suggest → commit
commit --push       # git add . → suggest → commit → git push
commit --dry-run    # show suggestion only, don't commit

What it looks like

  ✦ git add . done

  apps/notices/views.py    | 343 +++++++++++++++
  apps/notices/services.py | 211 +++++++------

  💡 🤖 AI suggestion — edit or press Enter to commit

  ✦ commit msg › refactor(notices): restructure service layer with caching
   Enter commit   Ctrl+A clear   Ctrl+C cancel

If AI is unavailable (rate limit / no key / offline):

  💡 ⚡ local suggestion — edit or press Enter to commit
  ✦ commit msg › refactor(notices): refactor notices logic

---

⚡ Recommended aliases

The installer adds these automatically. To add manually:

Linux — add to ~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc

alias ca="commit --add"
alias cap="commit --push"

Windows — add to $PROFILE

function ca  { commit --add }
function cap { commit --push }

Then just:

ca     # stage + commit
cap    # stage + commit + push  ← full lazy mode

---

🧠 How the local engine works

When AI is unavailable, your diff is analysed using Conventional Commits rules across 55+ scope patterns:

What it detects	Example output
test_ / *.spec.ts files	test(auth): add unit tests
*.md / docs/ files	docs: update readme
New functions/classes in patch	feat(api): add get_notice, create_notice
More deletions than insertions	refactor(service): clean up logic
Empty files added	chore: add empty repository, service files
Files deleted	chore: remove unused files
Django views/serializers/models	refactor(views): update notices viewset
React components/hooks/pages	feat(components): add NoticeCard component
Flutter widgets/blocs	feat(widgets): add notice list screen

Scope is auto-detected from 55+ patterns covering Django, React, Flutter, Node.js and more.

🛠️ Troubleshooting

Problem	Fix
feat(<file_name>): '	Sometimes ai suggest like that but you need run the command again and again for better suggestion
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'git_utils'	All 5 .py files must be in the same folder — copy them all to /usr/local/bin/
command not found: commit	Make sure /usr/local/bin is in PATH
Script prints garbage on run	Run sudo sed -i 's/\r//' /usr/local/bin/commit (CRLF fix)
ModuleNotFoundError: prompt_toolkit	Run pip install prompt_toolkit --break-system-packages
AI always falls back to local	Run echo $GEMINI_API_KEY — if empty, run source ~/.zshrc
commit conflicts with another command	Rename: sudo mv /usr/local/bin/commit /usr/local/bin/aicommit
Gemini key expired	Get a new key at aistudio.google.com/apikey
