FuturemanLab Commits

An AI-powered git commit message generator for VS Code using OpenAI.

Features

• One-click commits: Click the sparkle button in the Source Control view to generate a commit message from your staged diff.
• Works with git commit in the terminal: When VS Code opens COMMIT_EDITMSG with no message yet, the extension can auto-fill it for you.
• Conventional Commits by default: Messages follow feat:, fix:, docs:, refactor:, etc.
• Team-flavoured style: Add your own custom instructions in settings (e.g. ticket prefixes, tone, language).
• Multi-repo aware: Handles multi-root workspaces and lets you pick which repository to use.

Setup

1. Install the FuturemanLab Commits extension in VS Code.
2. Open VS Code Settings and search for Futureman.
3. Set your OpenAI API Key in futuremanlabCommits.apiKey.
   • Alternatively, you can set the OPENAI_API_KEY environment variable.
4. Stage some changes, open the Source Control view, and click the sparkle icon to generate your first commit message.
