Commit - Automate your Conventional Commit messages with AI

Introduction

Commit is a PHP package that automates the generation of Conventional Commit messages using AI. By analyzing your staged changes, it generates clear and structured commit messages that strictly follow the Conventional Commits standard.

Official Documentation

Install Commit using Composer:

composer global require ysocode/commit

Initialize Configuration

To initialize the necessary configuration files:

commit init

Manage AI Provider

List all enabled AI providers

To display all enabled AI providers:

commit ai:provider --list

Set the default AI provider

To define which AI provider should be used as default:

commit ai:provider sourcegraph

If no provider argument is specified, an interactive prompt will appear, allowing you to select the desired AI provider.

Get the current default AI provider

To display the current AI provider:

commit ai:provider --get

Managing API keys

Set your API key for a specific AI provider

Commit allows you to set your API keys for the AI providers you choose. To set your API key for an AI provider, use the following commands:

commit ai:api-key --provider=openai YOUR_API_KEY

If you don't specify a provider, an interactive prompt will appear with a list of enabled AIs for you to select from.

Get the current API key for a specific AI provider

Display the currently stored API key for the specified AI provider:

commit ai:api-key --get --provider=openai

If you don't specify a provider, the default AI provider will be selected automatically.

Sourcegraph Provider

Sourcegraph is available as an AI provider in our list of supported services. To use Sourcegraph, you must first install the Cody CLI:

npm install -g @sourcegraph/cody

For a comprehensive guide on Cody CLI installation and configuration, visit the Cody CLI documentation.

Now that you have the Cody CLI available, you can follow the same process as other AI providers by setting your key, and ysocode/commit will handle the rest for you:

commit ai:api-key --provider=sourcegraph YOUR_API_KEY

The key you set here corresponds directly to the SRC_ACCESS_TOKEN used by the Cody CLI.

Main functionality

Generate a Commit Message

To automatically generate a Conventional Commit message based on the current staged changes:

commit generate

This will display the generated commit message for your confirmation before finalizing the commit.

Using a Custom Diff

You can provide a custom diff instead of using the automatically detected staged changes:

commit generate YOUR_CUSTOM_DIFF

Using options to customize the commit

Use the --provider option to select the AI provider:

commit generate --provider=openai

Use the --lang option to specify the language for the commit message:

commit generate --lang=pt_BR

Enabled languages:

• en_US for English (United States)
• pt_BR for Portuguese (Brazil)
• es_ES for Spanish (Spain)
