• Introducing GitGenie: a git plugin that creates commit message suggestions with ChatGPT.
  1 project | /r/git | 22 May 2023

  Hey, fellow developers! I created an open-source git plugin that provides git commit suggestions to improve commit messages. It's called GitGenie and is written in GO to ship it in a single binary. This makes it easy to install and integrate into your development workflow. It is 100% free to use, but you will need an API-key from OpenAI to use it. This may result in costs of 0.01 - 0.10 $ per Day, depending on how many commits you have. GitGenie submits a git diff to ChatGPT from OpenAI to generate 3 or more git commit message suggestions. I know, many devs are skeptical, when it comes to AI-generated commits. And you are right: We want a "why", not "what" in our commits. But keep in mind: GitGenie makes only suggestions. You can always edit the suggested commit message or write your own before committing your changes. And having a brief summary in a commit message can become handy in large pull requests. (Sample commit messages here) To avoid AI-generated commit messages and to ensure that any of the code from your repository is shared with OpenAI, simply add a file called .gitgenieblock to the root of your repository. This will block GitGenie from processing your code. Some more features: - Context length, Number of lines befor and after the diff (default "5") - Number of suggestions to generate (default "3") - OpenAI API host to route through a proxy - Language, currently supported : en, ch, de, es, fr, it, ja, ko, pt, zh (default "en") - Commit message length: short, medium, long, verylong (default "medium") - Add signing signature to commit message - Skip editing the commit message - Jira ticket number detection from branch name I hope you'll give it a try and let me know what you think! https://github.com/kubero-dev/GitGenie
