This PR transforms the GitHub Copilot instructions from a basic guide into a comprehensive development resource for Git AI contributors and Copilot users.

What's Enhanced

🐛 Debugging & Troubleshooting

Added extensive debugging section with real debug output examples showing the actual Git AI hook session format:

=== GIT AI HOOK DEBUG SESSION ===
📋 INITIALIZATION
📝 GIT DIFF PROCESSING  
🤖 AI PROCESSING
📊 ANALYSIS RESULTS

Includes environment setup (RUST_LOG=debug), common issues/solutions, and testing scenarios for edge cases like Unicode content, binary files, and large diffs.

🧪 Testing Documentation

Enhanced with real test examples from the codebase:

#[test]
fn test_parse_diff_with_c_i_prefixes() {
    let diff = r#"diff --git a/src/config.rs b/src/config.rs..."#;
    let files = parse_diff(diff).unwrap();
    assert_eq!(files[0].operation, "modified");
}

Documents all 11 comprehensive test categories matching ./scripts/comprehensive-tests and integration test patterns.

🤖 AI Provider Integration

Added detailed integration examples with real code from the codebase:

  • OpenAI integration (src/openai.rs) with structured function calling
  • Ollama integration (src/ollama.rs) for local models
  • Model-specific optimizations with token limits and context lengths
  • JSON schema definitions for function tools

Performance & Development Workflow

  • Justfile commands documentation (just local-install, just integration-test)
  • Script utilities covering Fish shell scripts in ./scripts/ directory
  • Token management strategies with smart truncation and prioritization
  • Parallel processing patterns using both rayon and tokio

📊 Reference Tables

Added quick-reference tables for:

Model Use Case Speed Quality Cost
gpt-4.1 Default, balanced Medium High Medium
gpt-4o Best quality Slow Highest High
gpt-4o-mini Fast iteration Fast Good Low

🔧 Enhanced CLI Documentation

Expanded configuration reference with all available keys, defaults, and examples:

git-ai config set max-tokens 512          # Control API usage
git-ai config set max-commit-length 72    # Limit message length

Code Quality

All improvements use real examples from the actual codebase (src/multi_step_analysis.rs, tests/function_calling_test.rs, etc.) ensuring accuracy and maintainability. The documentation now serves as both a comprehensive reference and practical development guide while maintaining consistency with existing patterns.

Tests pass and code compiles without warnings, ensuring no functionality is broken.

Pull Request Overview

This PR significantly enhances the GitHub Copilot instructions document from a basic guide into a comprehensive development resource. The enhancement adds extensive debugging documentation with real examples, comprehensive testing patterns from the actual codebase, AI provider integration details, and performance optimization strategies.

Key Changes:

  • Debugging & troubleshooting section with real debug output examples and environment setup
  • Real test examples extracted from the actual codebase (tests/function_calling_test.rs, src/multi_step_integration.rs, etc.)
  • AI provider integration documentation covering OpenAI and Ollama with actual code patterns
  • Performance optimization strategies including token management, model selection guidelines, and fallback implementations
Comments suppressed due to low confidence (2)

.github/copilot-instructions.md:1

  • The model version gpt-4.1 does not exist in OpenAI's model lineup. This should likely be gpt-4-turbo or another valid OpenAI model identifier.
# GitHub Copilot Instructions for Git AI

.github/copilot-instructions.md:1

  • The configuration example uses gpt-4.1 which is not a valid OpenAI model. This should be updated to use a valid model identifier like gpt-4-turbo.
