AutoCommit - VS Code Extension

AutoCommit is a VS Code extension that automatically generates and commits descriptive and meaningful commit messages based on your changes. It uses the power of GPT-4 by OpenAI to understand your code changes and generates a commit message that follows the Conventional Commit standards.

Features

• Automatically generates commit messages based on your changes. (Uses gpt 3.5 - 4 was unessicary and more expensive)
• Commits each changed file separately with a relevant commit message. (The Prompt is 316 Tokens OR $0.000474)
• Avoids committing files specified in .gitignore.
• Optionally pushes changes to the remote repository automatically. (Can be changed in settings DEFAULT: true)

RATE LIMITS FOR FREE VERSION

When you see this, this is due to openAI
Error Code 429 - Rate limit reached for requests
I reccomend getting the "Pay as you go" version I made this so that 10,000 commits will cost about $4.50
