🤖 How It Works & Supported Models
How It Works
The extension activates when you open a Git repository in VS Code.
After staging your changes (git add .), go to the Source Control panel.
Click the "Auto Commiter" icon (or run the command) to generate a message.
The extension securely sends your git diff --staged to your chosen AI provider (OpenAI, Claude, or Gemini).
The AI analyzes the code changes and returns a suggested commit message.
The generated message is automatically placed in the commit input box, ready for you to review and commit.
