CommitAI Lite

简体中文

A minimal VS Code extension that turns Git diffs into clean AI-generated commit messages.

It reads the current Git diff, calls an OpenAI-compatible /chat/completions API, and writes the generated message back to VS Code's commit input box. It never commits code automatically.

Features

• Adds a generate action to the Source Control title menu
• Reads staged, unstaged, deleted, modified, and newly added untracked files
• Supports OpenAI-compatible services such as OpenAI, DeepSeek, Qwen-compatible gateways, SiliconFlow, and OpenRouter
• Configures baseUrl, apiKey, model, and custom prompt directly in VS Code Settings
• Defaults to Chinese Conventional Commits style messages

Configuration

Configure the extension in VS Code Settings JSON:

{
  "commitAILite.baseUrl": "https://api.openai.com/v1",
  "commitAILite.apiKey": "your-api-key",
  "commitAILite.model": "gpt-4o-mini",
  "commitAILite.customPrompt": "Please generate a Git commit message in Chinese that follows Conventional Commits.",
  "commitAILite.maxDiffChars": 12000
}

DeepSeek example:

{
  "commitAILite.baseUrl": "https://api.deepseek.com/v1",
  "commitAILite.model": "deepseek-chat"
}

Local Development

Run checks:

npm test

Open this project in VS Code, press F5, and choose Run Extension to start an Extension Development Host.

For Marketplace compatibility, CommitAI Lite uses the stable scm/title menu contribution instead of the proposed scm/inputBox contribution.

Notes

• commitAILite.apiKey is stored directly in VS Code Settings for simplicity. Treat your settings file as sensitive.
• The extension only calls OpenAI-compatible /chat/completions; it does not include provider-specific adapters.
• The extension only generates commit messages. It does not run git commit.
• Before publishing, replace "publisher": "local" in package.json with your real Visual Studio Marketplace publisher ID.
