gicomai README

gicomai is a (not very creative) acronym for git commit messages from AI

Features

gicomai takes the diff from the current repository and asks https://beta.openai.com to generate a commit message. The AI is usually quite impressive with this task.

If you have changes in your repository, that you want to commit, e.g.

You can trigger the creation of the messages by pressing Command-Enter in the empty commit input (or selecting) Commit-Commit from the git menu. This opens the git commit message text editor.

A commit message for every changed file will be generated and placed on top.

You can edit this as you like.

The rest is default behavior. So when closing the editor, you will asked if you want to make the commit.

Note: when you enter your own commit message into the commit input, the generation will not be triggered.

Requirements

You need an OpenAI account and create your own api-key at https://beta.openai.com/account/api-keys

Extension Settings

Please provide your api-key in the settings:

• gicomai.openai_apikey: your api-key

Known Issues

There is a limit of 4.000 tokens the API can handle. This translates roughly to 1.000 characters. Therefore only the 1st 1.000 characters of a file diff will be submittedt to the OpenAI API. There is also a limit of 20 calls per minute for the free plan.
