AI-generated commit message: feat: add project-specific configuration support via .ai-commit.json ? Use this message? › (Y/n) ``` ### Git Hook Integration You can set up AI-Commit as a Git hook to automatically generate commit messages: ```sh # Install the prepare-commit-msg hook aicommit hook install ``` This will add a Git hook that automatically suggests commit messages when you run `git commit`. To uninstall the hook: ```sh aicommit hook uninstall ``` ## LLM Providers AI-Commit supports multiple LLM providers, allowing you to choose the best option for your needs. ### OpenAI (Default) The default provider using OpenAI's GPT models. **Setup:** ```sh aicommit config set OPENAI_KEY= ``` **Recommended models:** - `gpt-4o-mini` (default, fast and cost-effective) - `gpt-4o` (more capable, higher cost) - `gpt-4-turbo` **Get your API key:** [OpenAI Platform](https://platform.openai.com/account/api-keys) --- ### Anthropic Claude Use Anthropic's Claude models as an alternative to OpenAI. **Setup:** ```sh aicommit config set provider=anthropic aicommit config set ANTHROPIC_KEY= ``` **Recommended models:** - `claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022` (recommended, best balance) - `claude-3-opus-20240229` (most capable) - `claude-3-haiku-20240307` (fastest, most economical) **Get your API key:** [Anthropic Console](https://console.anthropic.com/) --- ### Azure OpenAI Use Azure's OpenAI Service for enterprise deployments. **Setup:** ```sh aicommit config set provider=azure-openai aicommit config set AZURE_OPENAI_KEY= aicommit config set AZURE_ENDPOINT= ``` **Example endpoint:** `https://your-resource.openai.azure.com` **Note:** The `model` config should match your Azure deployment name. **Learn more:** [Azure OpenAI Service](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/products/ai-services/openai-service) --- ### Ollama (Local) Run AI-Commit completely offline using local models via Ollama. **Setup:** ```sh # 1. Install Ollama from https://ollama.com # 2. Pull a model ollama pull llama3.2 # 3. Configure AI-Commit aicommit config set provider=ollama aicommit config set model=llama3.2 ``` **Recommended models:** - `llama3.2` (recommended, good balance) - `codellama` (optimized for code) - `mistral` (fast and capable) - `qwen2.5-coder` (specialized for coding) **Default endpoint:** `http://localhost:11434` (automatically configured) **Benefits:** - ✅ Completely free - ✅ Works offline - ✅ Privacy-focused (data never leaves your machine) - ✅ No API key required --- ### Custom/RAG Connect to custom LLM endpoints, RAG systems, or OpenAI-compatible APIs. **Setup:** ```sh aicommit config set provider=custom aicommit config set CUSTOM_ENDPOINT= aicommit config set CUSTOM_KEY= ``` **Compatible with:** - Custom RAG implementations - LM Studio - LocalAI - Text Generation WebUI - vLLM - Any OpenAI-compatible API **Example:** ```sh aicommit config set provider=custom aicommit config set CUSTOM_ENDPOINT=https://my-rag.example.com/v1/chat/completions aicommit config set model=my-custom-model ``` --- ## Configuration Manage configuration using the `aicommit config` command. To get a configuration option value, use the command: ```sh aicommit config get ``` For example, to retrieve the API key, you can use: ```sh aicommit config get OPENAI_KEY > sk_1234567890 ``` To set a configuration option, use the command: ```sh aicommit config set = ``` ### Options #### General Options | Option | Default | Description | |---------------------|-----------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | `provider` | `openai` | LLM provider to use (`openai`, `anthropic`, `azure-openai`, `ollama`, `custom`) | | `locale` | `en` | Locale for the generated commit messages | | `generate` | `1` | Number of commit messages to generate | | `model` | `gpt-4o-mini` | The model to use (provider-specific) | | `timeout` | `10000` | Network request timeout in milliseconds | | `max-length` | `50` | Maximum character length of the generated commit message | | `type` | `""` | Type of commit message to generate (`conventional` or empty) | | `auto-confirm` | `false` | Automatically confirm the generated commit message without user prompt | | `prepend-reference` | `false` | Prepend issue reference from branch name to commit message | | `temperature` | `0.2` | Temperature (0.0-2.0) to control randomness of the output | | `max-completion-tokens` | `10000` | Maximum number of tokens that can be generated in the completion | | `proxy` | N/A | HTTPS proxy URL (e.g., `http://proxy.example.com:8080`) | #### Provider-Specific Options | Option | Provider | Description | |---------------------|-----------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | `OPENAI_KEY` | OpenAI | OpenAI API key (starts with `sk-`) | | `ANTHROPIC_KEY` | Anthropic | Anthropic API key (starts with `sk-ant-`) | | `AZURE_OPENAI_KEY` | Azure OpenAI | Azure OpenAI API key | | `AZURE_ENDPOINT` | Azure OpenAI | Azure OpenAI endpoint URL (e.g., `https://your-resource.openai.azure.com`) | | `OLLAMA_ENDPOINT` | Ollama | Ollama server endpoint (default: `http://localhost:11434`) | | `CUSTOM_ENDPOINT` | Custom | Custom API endpoint URL | | `CUSTOM_KEY` | Custom | Custom API key (optional, for endpoints requiring authentication) | ### Environment Variables (.env) For local development, you can create environment files in your project root: **For CLI usage** (`.env`): ```bash # .env - Used when running aicommit provider=anthropic ANTHROPIC_KEY=sk-ant-... model=claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022 max-length=80 ``` **For testing** (`.env.local`): ```bash # .env.local - Used when running npm test OPENAI_KEY=sk-... # or provider=anthropic ANTHROPIC_KEY=sk-ant-... ``` **File usage:** - `.env` → Loaded when running `aicommit` (CLI usage) - `.env.local` → Loaded when running `npm test` (local testing only) - Both files are gitignored for security **Priority order** (highest to lowest): 1. `.ai-commit.json` (project-specific) 2. CLI arguments 3. Environment variables (`.env`, `.env.local`, or shell) 4. Global config (`~/.aicommit`) **Note:** See `.env.example` for all available options. Copy it to `.env` for CLI usage or `.env.local` for testing. ### Project-Specific Configuration You can add a `.ai-commit.json` file in the root of your project to provide additional context about your project to the AI and to override global configuration settings for the specific project. **Example with OpenAI:** ```json { "projectPrompt": "This is a Node.js CLI tool that uses AI to generate meaningful git commit messages.", "model": "gpt-4o", "locale": "en", "max-length": "100", "temperature": "0.5" } ``` **Example with Anthropic:** ```json { "provider": "anthropic", "ANTHROPIC_KEY": "sk-ant-...", "model": "claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022", "projectPrompt": "This is a TypeScript library for data validation.", "max-length": "80" } ``` **Example with Ollama:** ```json { "provider": "ollama", "model": "codellama", "projectPrompt": "This is a Python web application using FastAPI.", "temperature": "0.3" } ``` The `.ai-commit.json` file can contain any of the configuration options listed in the [Options](#options) section. Values set in this file will take precedence over the global configuration. The `projectPrompt` field should contain a brief description of your project, its purpose, and any other relevant information that would help the AI understand the context of your code changes. ## Maintainers [![NegoZiatoR](https://img.shields.io/badge/NegoZiatoR-blue?style=flat&logo=x&link=https://twitter.com/negoziator)](https://twitter.com/negoziator) ## Contributing If you want to help fix a bug or implement a feature in [Issues](https://github.com/negoziator/ai-commit/issues), checkout the [Contribution Guide](CONTRIBUTING.md) to learn how to setup and test the project.
