Auto Commiter is a VS Code extension that analyzes your git diff --staged and uses generative AI (OpenAI or Google Gemini) to automatically create descriptive and accurate commit messages, integrating directly into your Source Control panel.

📚 Project Evolution: This project was created to streamline the development workflow, saving time and improving the quality of commit history by leveraging the power of modern AI models inside the code editor.

🎓 Main Features

• AI-Powered Commits: Automatically generates commit messages based on staged changes.
• Multi-Provider Support: Choose between OpenAI (GPT), Google (Gemini) models or Claude AI.
• VS Code Integration: Populates the commit message box in the Source Control panel.
• Command Palette: Access functionality quickly via the VS Code Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P).
