AI Commits

A CLI that writes your git commit messages for you. Never write a commit message again.

--- ## Installation and Usage Install the CLI then grab your [OpenAI key](https://openai.com/api/) and add it as an env variable with the two commands below. 1. `npm install -g aicommits` 2. `export OPENAI_KEY=sk-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx` After that, generate your commit running `aicommits`. > Note: If you get a EACCESS error on mac/linux when running the first command, try running it with `sudo npm install -g aicommits` and putting in your password. ## How it works This CLI tool runs a `git diff` command to grab all the latest changes, sends this to OpenAI's GPT-3, then returns the AI generated commit message. I also want to note that it does cost money since data gets sent to OpenAI for a commit message to be generated. However, OpenAI gives folks $18 of free credits and commit message generations are cheap so it should be free for a long time. Video coming soon where I rebuild it from scratch to show you how to easily build your own CLI tools powered by AI. ## Limitations - Only supports git diffs of up to 200 lines of code for now - Does not support conventional commits The next version of the CLI, v2, will address both of these limitations! ## Future tasks - Add support for conventional commits as a flag that users can enable - Try supporting more than 200 lines by grabbing the diff per file - Build landing page for the 2.0 launch
