GitBuddy Smart Commit

GitBuddy is an AI-powered Git assistant for VS Code.

It lives inside the editor and helps you:

• 🔐 Connect your local repo to GitHub
• 🧠 Generate high-quality commit messages from your Git diff (via Supabase Edge Function)
• ✅ Smart commit & push in one action
• 💬 Preview and edit the AI commit message before pushing

Features

🤝 GitHub integration

• Uses VS Code’s built-in GitHub authentication (github auth provider)
• Detects your current repository, branch, and remote
• Can create a new GitHub repo or connect to an existing one
• Optionally performs the initial git push -u origin <branch>

🧠 AI commit messages (via Supabase)

On Generate / Smart Commit GitBuddy:

1. Computes the Git diff for your repo (staged + unstaged changes)

2. Sends the diff to your Supabase Edge Function:

   const response = await fetch(
     "https://cogspkafsqkzhokcpvzu.supabase.co/functions/v1/generate-commit-message",
     {
       method: "POST",
       headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" },
       body: JSON.stringify({ diff: gitDiffOutput })
     }
   );
   

3. Expects a JSON response like: { "suggestions": [ { "type": "conventional", "title": "docs: update README", "body": "Optional body text", "full": "docs: update README\n\nOptional body text" } ], "analysis": { "filesChanged": 1, "additions": 5, "deletions": 2, "primaryType": "docs", "scope": null } }

4. Automatically picks the conventional suggestion (or the first one) and uses its full value as the commit message.

Note: You control the Supabase function and model. This extension only sends the Git diff and uses whatever commit messages your function returns.
