A git prepare-commit-msg hook for authoring commit messages with GPT-3. With this tool, you can easily generate clear, comprehensive and descriptive commit messages letting you focus on writing code.

See announcement blog post.

1. Install this tool locally with cargo (recommended).

cargo install --locked gptcommit

or on macOS, use homebrew

brew install zurawiki/brews/gptcommit

2. In your git repository, run the following command to install gptcommit as a git prepare-commit-msg hook. You will need to provide an OpenAI API key to complete the installation.

gptcommit install

To use gptcommit, simply run git commit as you normally would. The hook will automatically generate a commit message for you using GPT-3. If you're not satisfied with the generated message, you can always edit it before committing.

Note: By default, gptcommit uses the GPT-3 model. Please ensure you have sufficient credits in your OpenAI account to use it.

gptcommit supports a number of configuration options that are read from $HOME/.config/gptcommit/config.toml. Configs are applied in the following order:

• User settings as read from $HOME/.config/gptcommit/config.toml.
• Environment variables starting with GPTCOMMIT__*.

Persist your OpenAI key

gptcommit config set openai.api_key sk-...

You can also config this setting via the GPTCOMMIT__OPENAI__API_KEY.

To maintain compatibility with other OpenAI clients, we support the OPENAI_API_KEY environment variables. This will take the highest precedence.

gptcommit uses text-davinci-003 by default. The model can be configured to use other models as below

gptcommit config set openai.model text-davinci-002

You can also config this setting via the GPTCOMMIT__OPENAI__MODEL.

For a list of public OpenAI models, checkout the OpenAI docs. You can also bring in your own fine-tuned model.

If you encounter any bugs or have any suggestions for improvements, please open an issue on the repository.
