A powerful CLI tool that leverages OpenAI's GPT models to generate high-quality, conventional commit messages from your staged changes.

## Features

- 🤖 Uses OpenAI's GPT models to analyze your staged changes
- 📝 Generates conventional commit messages that follow best practices
- 🎯 Interactive selection from multiple commit message suggestions
- ✏️ Edit messages directly or request AI revisions
- 🧠 Advanced reasoning mode for enhanced AI interactions
- 🔍 Comprehensive debugging capabilities with file or stdout logging
- ⚡ Streaming responses for real-time feedback
- 🔄 Auto-update checks to keep you on the latest version
- 🎨 Beautiful terminal UI with color-coded output
- ⚙️ Configurable settings via YAML config file

## Installation

```bash
cargo install turbocommit
```

Pro tip: Add an alias to your shell configuration for quicker access:
```bash
# Add to your .bashrc, .zshrc, etc.
alias tc='turbocommit'
```

## Usage

1. Stage your changes:
```bash
git add . # or stage specific files
```

2. Generate commit messages:
```bash
turbocommit # or 'tc' if you set up the alias
```

After generating commit messages, you can:
- Select your preferred message from multiple suggestions
- Edit the message directly before committing
- Request AI revisions with additional context or requirements
- Commit the message once you're satisfied

### Options

- `-n ` - Number of commit message suggestions to generate
- `-t ` - Temperature for GPT model (0.0 to 2.0) (no effect in reasoning mode)
- `-f ` - Frequency penalty (-2.0 to 2.0)
- `-m ` - Specify the GPT model to use
- `-r, --enable-reasoning` - Enable support for models with reasoning capabilities (like o-series)
- `--reasoning-effort ` - Set reasoning effort for supported models (low/medium/high, default: medium)
- `-d, --debug` - Show basic debug info in console
- `--debug-file ` - Write detailed debug logs to file (use '-' for stdout)
- `--auto-commit` - Automatically commit with the generated message
- `--amend` - Amend the last commit with the generated message (useful with Git hooks)
- `--api-key ` - Provide API key directly
- `--api-endpoint ` - Custom API endpoint URL
- `-p, --print-once` - Disable streaming output

#### Reasoning Mode
When using models that support reasoning capabilities (like OpenAI's o-series), this mode enables their built-in reasoning features. These models are specifically designed to analyze code changes and generate commit messages with their own reasoning process.

Example usage:
```bash
turbocommit -r -m o3-mini -n 1 # Enable reasoning mode with default effort
turbocommit -r --reasoning-effort high -m o3-mini -n 1 # Specify reasoning effort
```

#### Debugging
Debug output helps troubleshoot API interactions:
```bash
turbocommit -d # Basic info to console
turbocommit --debug-file debug.log # Detailed logs to file
turbocommit --debug-file - # Detailed logs to stdout
```

The debug logs include:
- Request details (model, tokens, parameters)
- API responses and errors
- Timing information
- Full request/response JSON (in file mode)

### Model-Specific Notes

Different models have different capabilities and limitations:

#### O-Series Models (e.g., o3-mini)
- Support reasoning mode
- Do not support temperature/frequency parameters
- May not support multiple choices (`-n`)
- Optimized for specific tasks

#### Standard GPT Models
- Support all parameters
- Multiple choices available
- Temperature and frequency tuning
- Standard reasoning capabilities

For more options, run:
```bash
turbocommit --help
```

## Configuration

turboCommit creates a config file at `~/.turbocommit.yaml` on first run. You can customize:

- Default model
- API endpoint
- Temperature and frequency penalty
- Number of suggestions
- System message prompt
- Auto-update checks
- Reasoning mode defaults
- And more!

Example configuration:
```yaml
model: "gpt-4"
default_temperature: 1.0
default_frequency_penalty: 0.0
default_number_of_choices: 3
enable_reasoning: true
reasoning_effort: "medium"
disable_print_as_stream: false
disable_auto_update_check: false
```

### Multiple Config Files

You can maintain multiple configuration files for different use cases (e.g., different providers or environments) and specify which one to use with the `-c` or `--config` option:

```bash
# Use a local config file
turbocommit -c ./local-config.yaml

# Use a different provider's config
turbocommit -c ~/.turbocommit-azure.yaml

# Use the default config
turbocommit # uses ~/.turbocommit.yaml
```

Each config file follows the same format as shown above. This allows you to easily switch between different configurations without modifying the default config file.

### Using turboCommit with --amend

The `--amend` option allows you to change the commit message of your last commit. This is useful when:
- You want to improve the message of your last commit
- You want to fix a typo in your commit message
- You want to add more context to your commit message

Usage:
```bash
# First, make sure you have no staged changes
git status # Should show no staged changes

# Then use --amend to improve the last commit's message
turbocommit --amend # This will analyze the last commit's changes and suggest a new message
```

Important Notes:
- When using `--amend`, you must not have any staged changes
- The tool will analyze only the changes from your last commit
- If you want to include new changes in the amended commit:
1. Either commit them first normally, then amend that commit
2. Or use `git commit --amend` manually to include them

You can also combine this with auto-commit for a quick message update:
```bash
turbocommit --amend --auto-commit # Automatically amend with the first generated message
```

### Using turboCommit with Git Hooks

If your project uses Git hooks (e.g., linters, formatters), here's how to use turboCommit effectively:

1. Stage and commit your changes normally:
```bash
git add .
turbocommit
```

2. If hooks fail:
- Fix the issues reported by hooks
- Stage the fixed files (`git add .`)
- Commit again

3. If you want to improve the commit message after all hooks pass:
```bash
# Make sure you have no staged changes
git status

# Then improve the message
turbocommit --amend # This will analyze the commit and suggest a better message
```

This workflow ensures that:
- Code quality checks run before the commit
- You can improve the commit message after all checks pass
- The final commit message is high-quality and descriptive
