Git Commit Composer

Easily generate concise and descriptive commit messages in seconds with AI, based on your pending code changes.

Highlights

• AI-powered, one-click commit message generation in the Source Control panel
• Supports popular hosted and local LLM endpoints, and allows custom endpoints
• Configurable prompt template
• Supports plain and conventional output formats

Quick Start

1. Press Ctrl+Shift+P (Windows/Linux) or Cmd+Shift+P (macOS) to open the Command Palette, type git to filter commands, then select the Git Commit Composer: Open Settings View command.
2. Select a preset provider (or add a custom provider), then select a model.
3. Enter your API key and test the connection.
4. Click the button in the Source Control panel to auto-generate a commit message based on your pending code changes.

Providers

Preset providers include OpenAI, Anthropic, DeepSeek, Mistral AI, Groq, Together, Together AI, SiliconFlow, BigModel (ZhipuAI / GLM), Moonshot (Kimi), OpenRouter, Ollama (Local), LM Studio (Local), and vLLM (Local).

You can also add custom providers with:

• name: display name in the settings view
• apiType: OpenAI or Anthropic
• endpoint: endpoint URL
• model: model name

Extension Settings

All settings live under gitCommitComposer.* (managed via the Settings View):

• gitCommitComposer.providerId: selected provider identifier
• gitCommitComposer.customProviders: custom provider definitions
• gitCommitComposer.customModels: custom model definitions per provider
• gitCommitComposer.providerSelectedModels: selected model per provider
• gitCommitComposer.promptTemplate: prompt text with template variables ({{diff}}, {{format}}, {{input_message}}, {{language}})
• gitCommitComposer.outputLanguage: language for commit messages
• gitCommitComposer.timeoutMs: request timeout in milliseconds
• gitCommitComposer.maxDiffSize: maximum diff size (KB) to send
• gitCommitComposer.outputFormat: output format hint for the model (plain or conventional)

Privacy & Safety

• Only diff content and prompt text are sent to your configured endpoint.
• API keys are stored in VS Code SecretStorage.
• No automatic git commit is performed.
