You can install CommitGen directly from the Visual Studio Code Marketplace.

Download the .vsix file from Releases
In VS Code, press Ctrl+Shift+P (or Cmd+Shift+P on macOS)
```
Extensions: Install from VSIX...
```
Select the downloaded .vsix file

If you prefer to build the extension yourself from the source code:

Clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/WoongheeLee/vscode-commitgen.git
cd vscode-commitgen

Install dependencies:
```
npm install
```
Package the extension:

If you have vsce installed globally:
```
vsce package
```
Or use npx without installing globally:
```
npx vsce package
```
This will generate a .vsix file (e.g., vscode-commitgen-0.1.4.vsix).
Install the extension in VS Code:
- Open VS Code
- Press Ctrl+Shift+P (or Cmd+Shift+P on macOS)
- Select "Extensions: Install from VSIX..."
- Choose the generated .vsix file

You can also use fnm or nvm to manage Node.js and npm locally without requiring global or sudo installs.

If this is your first time using CommitGen, you will be prompted to enter your OpenAI API key:

File → Preferences → Settings → Extensions → CommitGen

You can customize the following options:

Setting	Default	Description
`commitgen.apiKey`	`""`	Your OpenAI API key
`commitgen.model`	`gpt-4o-mini`	LLM model to use (`gpt-4o`, `gpt-3.5-turbo`, etc.)

`commitgen.includeCommitHistory`	`true`	Include recent commit history for better context
`commitgen.commitHistoryCount`	`10`	Number of recent commits to include (1-50)
