🚀 Quick Start

Installation

uv tool install tgit

pipx install tgit

pip install tgit

Basic Usage

# Configure TGIT
tgit settings

# Generate an AI-powered commit message from staged changes
tgit commit

# Generate changelog for current version
tgit changelog

# Bump version and generate changelog
tgit version

Configuration

The recommended way to configure TGIT is through the interactive settings command:

# Interactive configuration - recommended!
tgit settings

This will guide you through setting up:

• OpenAI API key for AI-powered commits
• Preferred AI model (gpt-5-mini, gpt-4.1, etc.)
• Optional reasoning effort override (none, minimal, low, medium, high, xhigh)
• Commit emoji preferences
• Custom commit types
• Global and workspace settings paths during view and save flows
• Workspace overrides using effective defaults, with empty values falling back to inherited settings

Alternatively, you can manually create a .tgit.yaml file in your project root or ~/.tgit.yaml for global settings:

apiKey: "your-openai-api-key"
model: "gpt-5-mini"
reasoning_effort: "medium"
commit:
  emoji: true
  types:
    - type: "feat"
      emoji: "✨"
    - type: "fix"
      emoji: "🐛"

📖 Commands

Commit

# AI-powered commit
tgit commit

# Breaking change commit
tgit commit --breaking "remove deprecated api"

Changelog

# Generate changelog for current version
tgit changelog

# Generate changelog from specific version
tgit changelog --from v1.0.0

# Generate changelog to specific version
tgit changelog --to v2.0.0

Version

# Interactive version bump
tgit version

# Limit to root only (disable recursive bump)
tgit version --no-recursive

# Bump specific version type
tgit version --patch
tgit version --minor
tgit version --major

# Pre-release version
tgit version --prerelease alpha

Settings

# Interactive settings configuration
tgit settings

# Show current settings
tgit settings --show

When configuring workspace settings interactively, TGIT shows the effective values that are currently in use. Leave a string field empty to inherit from the global/default value, or choose Follow global/default for boolean settings.

You can also override the default reasoning effort used for AI commit generation with reasoning_effort. Use auto in the non-interactive settings command, or leave the field empty in interactive settings, to omit the field and fall back to the model-specific default. Those defaults vary by model family, for example gpt-5 defaults to medium, while gpt-5.4-mini defaults to none.
