## Installation and Usage
1. Install the CLI:
```sh
npm install -g aicommits
```
2. Retrieve your API key from [OpenAI](https://platform.openai.com/account/api-keys)
> Note: If you haven't already, you'll have to create an account and set up billing.
3. Set the key so aicommits can use it:
```sh
echo "OPENAI_KEY=<your token>" >> ~/.aicommits
```
4. You're ready to go!
Run `aicommits` in any Git repo and it will generate a commit message for you.
## How it works
This CLI tool runs `git diff` to grab all the latest changes, sends them 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.
## 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, version 2, will address both of these limitations as well as the tasks below!
## Future tasks
- Add a debugging flag to troubleshoot OpenAI responses
- Add support for conventional commits as a flag that users can enable
- Add support for diffs greater than 200 lines by grabbing the diff per file
- Add support for a flag that can auto-accept
- Add ability to specify a commit message from inside aicommit
- Solve latency issue (use a githook to asynchronously run gpt3 call on every git add, store the result in a temp file (or in the .git folder)
- Use gpt-3-tokenizer
- Add automated github releases
- Add opt-in emoji flag
- Add opt-in languages flag
- Build landing page for the 2.0 launch
