Automatically generate git commit messages using Claude 3 Haiku. This tool analyzes your staged changes and creates clear, concise commit messages. It uses the Conventional Commit format by default but can adapt to repository-specific or author-specific styles.

• Generates clear, concise commit messages from staged changes
• Supports multiple LLM providers:
  • Anthropic Claude (default)
  • OpenAI GPT models
  • Ollama (local LLMs)
• Supports various commit formats:
  • Conventional Commits (default)
  • Angular
  • Semantic Git Commits (with emojis)
  • Linux Kernel style
  • GitHub issue-reference style (e.g., [#123]: description)
  • Custom styles from repository or author history
• Simple CLI interface

Get up and running in minutes:

1. Install the tool:

   curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sidedwards/auto-commit/main/scripts/install.sh | bash

2. Set up your API key (if using Anthropic or OpenAI):

   • Anthropic (default): Get your API key
   • OpenAI: Get your API key
   • Ollama: No API key needed (ensure Ollama is running locally).

3. Generate a commit message:

   git add <files>
   auto-commit

4. Review and confirm:

   • Accept, edit, reject, or regenerate the proposed commit message.

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sidedwards/auto-commit/main/scripts/install.sh | bash

     sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/auto-commit

   • Windows (PowerShell as Admin):

     move auto-commit-windows-x64.exe C:\Windows\System32\auto-commit.exe

1. Install Deno:

   curl -fsSL https://deno.land/x/install/install.sh | sh

2. Clone and install:

   git clone https://github.com/sidedwards/auto-commit.git
   cd auto-commit
   deno task install

• Quick Install or Manual:

  curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sidedwards/auto-commit/main/scripts/install.sh | bash

• From Source:

  cd auto-commit
  deno task update

1. Stage your changes:

   git add <files>

2. Run the tool:

   auto-commit

3. Review the commit message and select:
   • (a)ccept
   • (e)dit
   • (r)eject
   • (n)ew message

• Add a Git alias:

  git config --global alias.ac '!auto-commit'

  Then use: git ac

• Choose a commit format:

  auto-commit --format=conventional  # Default
  auto-commit --format=angular      # Angular style
  auto-commit --format=semantic     # With emojis
  auto-commit --format=kernel       # Linux Kernel style
  auto-commit --format=issue        # GitHub issue-reference

• Learn custom styles:

  • From repository history:

    auto-commit --learn

  • From a specific author:

    auto-commit --learn --author="user@example.com"

• List repository authors:

  auto-commit --list-authors

Choose the LLM provider and model that best suits your needs.

• Anthropic Claude (default):

  • claude-3-5-haiku-20241022 (default): Fast and compact.
  • claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022: Balanced performance.
  • claude-3-7-sonnet-20250219: Most powerful with reasoning.

• OpenAI:

  • gpt-4o-mini (default): Fast and cost-effective.
  • gpt-4o: Fast, intelligent, and flexible.
  • o3-mini: Fast and flexible with reasoning.
  • o1: High intelligence with reasoning.

• Ollama (local LLMs):

  • Depends on your Ollama setup. Examples:
    • llama3 (default): Meta's latest model.
    • mistral: Mistral 7B.
    • mixtral: Mixtral 8x7B.
    • codellama: Code-optimized.

• List all models:

  auto-commit --list-models

• List models for a provider:

  auto-commit --list-models --provider=anthropic

• Use a specific provider/model:

  auto-commit --provider=anthropic --model=claude-3-opus-20240229
  auto-commit --provider=openai --model=gpt-4o
  auto-commit --provider=ollama --model=llama3

• Custom Ollama URL:

  auto-commit --provider=ollama --base-url=http://localhost:11434

• API Keys:

  • Required for Anthropic/OpenAI; set on first run.
  • Not needed for Ollama (just run the Ollama server locally).
  • Links: Anthropic | OpenAI

• Commit Formats:

  • Default: Conventional Commits.
  • Change with --format (see Usage).

• Custom Styles:

  • Train with --learn or --learn --author="email".

• Git
• GitHub CLI (gh) - for issue integration
• Vim - for editing commit messages
• API keys (Anthropic/OpenAI) or Ollama running locally
