AI Commits - work in progress

AI Commits is a tool that writes your git commit messages for you. Never write a commit message again.

Installation and usage

1. npm install -g autocommit to install the CLI
2. export OPENAI_KEY=sk-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx to specify your OpenAI API Key
3. autocommit after you run git add . to generate your commit

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. Video coming soon where I rebuild it from scratch to show you how to easily build your own CLI tools powered by AI.

Limitations

It currently can only support git diffs of up to 200 lines of code. I'm working on version 2.0 which will be TypeScript-first, support conventional commits, and support long diffs.

Remaining tasks

Now:

• Rewrite this in node to publish as an npm package
• Fix screenshot on npm
• add an npm ignore and add demo to README as well
• make CLI looks nicer

Future tasks:

• Experiment with openai curie and/or codex
• Add conventional commit support
• Try supporting more than 200 lines by grabbing the diff per file
• Rewrite in TypeScript
• Build landing page for the 2.0 launch
