AI Commit

Have AI Commit write your git commit messages for you so you never have to write a commit message again.

How to install

Run npm i -g zx (this CLI uses zx)
Run git clone github.com/nutlope/aicommit in your root directory
Add a file called .env.json in the folder with your OpenAI API key. You can get this by signing up
[Optional] If you're on mac, add alias aicommit="zx ~/ai-commit/aicommit.mjs" to your .zshrc so you can trigger the program simply by typing aicommit

Note: The process to install this will get vastly simplified when I rewrite this CLI and publish it as an npm package to be run with npx.

How it works

This project uses a command line interface tool called zx that's developed by google. In the script, it 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. Video coming soon where I rebuild it from scratch to show you how to easily build your own CLI tools powered by AI. Fully privacy friendly as commands only run on your local machine using your OpenAI account.
