# Automagically-generated commit messages

A CLI tool that generates commit messages from your staged changes, built in Rust and using [OpenAI's GPT-3.5](https://platform.openai.com/overview).

## Installation

You can install `auto-commit` by running the following command in your terminal.

```
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/m1guelpf/auto-commit/main/install.sh | sh -
```

Or, if you're an arch user, you can download it from the [AUR](https://aur.archlinux.org/) using

```sh
yay -S auto-commit
```

You may need to close and reopen your terminal after installation. Alternatively, you can download the binary corresponding to your OS from the [latest release](https://github.com/m1guelpf/auto-commit/releases/latest).

## Usage

`auto-commit` uses GPT-3.5. To use it, grab an API key from [your dashboard](https://beta.openai.com/), and save it to `OPENAI_API_KEY` as follows (you can also save it in your bash/zsh profile for persistance between sessions).

```bash
export OPENAI_API_KEY='sk-XXXXXXXX'
```

Once you have configured your environment, stage some changes by running, for example, `git add .`, and then run `auto-commit`.

Of course, `auto-commit` also includes some options, for editing the message before commiting, or just printing the message to the terminal.

```sh
$ auto-commit --help
Automagically generate commit messages.

Usage: auto-commit [OPTIONS]

Options:
-v, --verbose... More output per occurrence
-q, --quiet... Less output per occurrence
--dry-run Output the generated message, but don't create a commit.
-r, --review Edit the generated commit message before committing.
-h, --help Print help information
-V, --version Print version information
```

## Develop

Make sure you have the latest version of rust installed (use [rustup](https://rustup.rs/)). Then, you can build the project by running `cargo build`, and run it with `cargo run`.
