OpenCodeCommit
AI commit messages via terminal AI agents. VSCodium / VS Code extension + standalone Rust / npm CLI.
Security scanning built in — diffs are scanned locally for secrets, source maps, and private keys before anything leaves your machine.
VSCodium Open VSX registry
VS Code Marketplace · npm · crates.io · GitHub
Install
Extension: Search "OpenCodeCommit" in VSCodium / VS Code, or ext install Nevaberry.opencodecommit
CLI: cargo install opencodecommit or npm i -g @nevaberry/opencodecommit (installs occ command)
Prerequisite: At least one CLI backend:
VSCodium / VS Code Usage
- Stage changes (or leave unstaged — auto-detected)
- Click the sparkle button in Source Control
- Commit message appears in the input box
Dropdown menu: mode-specific generation, refine, branch name generation, switch language, diagnose.
CLI Usage
occ commit # generate message + commit
occ commit --dry-run # preview only, don't commit
occ commit --language Suomi # generate in Finnish
occ branch # generate branch name + checkout
occ branch --mode adaptive # match existing branch naming style
occ pr # generate PR title + body
occ changelog # generate changelog entry
# JSON output (default), or --text for human readable plain text
occ commit --text
occ commit --allow-sensitive # skip secret scanning
occ is the short form. opencodecommit also works if occ clashes with something on your system.
Exit codes: 0 success, 1 no changes, 2 backend error, 3 config error, 5 sensitive content detected
Sensitive Content Detection
Diffs are scanned locally before being sent to any AI backend. The CLI blocks (exit 5) and the extension shows a warning dialog.

Built-in: English (default), Suomi (Finnish), Custom (example) (template for your own).
Each language defines full prompt modules (base, adaptive, conventional, length, sensitive note). Missing modules fall back to English. CLI: --language Suomi. Extension: dropdown menu or opencodecommit.activeLanguage setting.
Add custom languages in config — only label and instruction are required:

label = "Deutsch"
instruction = "Schreibe die Commit-Nachricht auf Deutsch."
