# diny
**Free AI git commit messages. No API key. No signup.**
Open-source CLI that turns staged diffs into clean commits in one command.
---
## Features
- Interactive TUI for commit, config, changelog, timeline, and yolo
- Reads staged changes with `git diff` and filters out noise (lockfiles, binaries, build artifacts)
- Generates 3 message variants; inline editing or open in `$EDITOR`
- File picker to stage/unstage without leaving diny
- Timeline analysis with date presets or custom ranges
- AI-powered changelog generation between tags or commits
- Three-tier config system (global, project-shared, project-private)
- 10+ dark and light themes
- No API key required
## Install
### macOS / Linux
```bash
brew install dinoDanic/tap/diny
```
### Windows (Scoop)
```powershell
scoop bucket add dinodanic https://github.com/dinoDanic/scoop-bucket
scoop install diny
```
### Manual
Download pre-built binaries from [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/dinoDanic/diny/releases).
## Usage
Stage your changes, then run:
```bash
git add .
diny commit
```
This launches the interactive TUI — generate, review, and commit without leaving the terminal.
## Commands
| Command | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| `diny commit` | Launch the interactive TUI |
| `diny yolo` | Stage all changes, generate a commit, and push |
| `diny changelog` | Generate an AI-powered changelog between tags or commits |
| `diny timeline` | Summarize and analyze your commit history |
| `diny config` | Interactive TUI config editor |
| `diny theme` | List available UI themes |
| `diny auto` | Set up a `git auto` alias |
| `diny link lazygit` | Integrate diny with LazyGit |
| `diny update` | Update diny to the latest version |
## Integrations
### Git alias (`git auto`)
```bash
diny auto # install
diny auto remove # uninstall
```
Then use `git auto` anywhere you'd use `git commit`.
### LazyGit
```bash
diny link lazygit
```
Adds a custom command to [LazyGit](https://github.com/jesseduffield/lazygit) so you can generate commit messages from its UI.
## Configuration
Run `diny config` to open a TUI for browsing and editing all settings.
diny supports a three-tier configuration system:
| Level | Location | Description | Committed |
|-------|----------|-------------|-----------|
| Global | `~/.config/diny/config.yaml` | Your defaults for all projects | No |
| Project (versioned) | `.diny.yaml` | Team-shared settings for this project | Yes |
| Project (local) | `/diny/config.yaml` | Your personal per-project overrides | No |
**Priority:** local > versioned > global. Project configs only need to specify the values they override.
Outside a git repository, only global config is available.
### Options
| Option | Description | Values |
|--------|-------------|--------|
| `theme` | UI color theme | see [Themes](#themes) |
| `commit.conventional` | Use conventional commit format | `true` / `false` |
| `commit.emoji` | Prefix commits with emoji | `true` / `false` |
| `commit.tone` | Message tone | `professional` / `casual` / `friendly` |
| `commit.length` | Message length | `short` / `normal` / `long` |
| `commit.custom_instructions` | Extra guidance for the AI | free text |
| `commit.hash_after_commit` | Show and copy commit hash after committing | `true` / `false` |
### Themes
- **Dark:** `catppuccin`, `tokyo`, `nord`, `dracula`, `gruvbox-dark`, `onedark`, `monokai`, `solarized-dark`, `everforest-dark`, `flexoki-dark`
- **Light:** `solarized-light`, `github-light`, `gruvbox-light`, `flexoki-light`
Run `diny theme` to preview them all.
### Example
```yaml
theme: tokyo
commit:
conventional: true
emoji: true
tone: casual
length: short
custom_instructions: "Include JIRA ticket from branch name"
hash_after_commit: true
```
## Update
```bash
diny update # built-in updater
brew update && brew upgrade dinoDanic/tap/diny # macOS / Linux
scoop update diny # Windows
```
## Why diny
I'm terrible at commit messages — I type fast, make mistakes, and my history ends up full of "fix stuff" and "ui thing." diny reads your changes, writes a decent message, and summarizes your day when you need to remember what you worked on. It's AI doing what it's actually good at: the repetitive stuff.
