AI-powered Git Helper (AIGIT)

AIGIT is a command-line interface (CLI) tool that uses OpenAI to generate commit messages for your Git repositories. It checks the status of your Git repository, generates a commit message based on the changes, and commits those changes.

Installation

To install AIGIT, you need Python 3.6+ installed on your system. You have several options:

Global Installation (Recommended)

Using uv (fastest):

uv tool install aigit

Using pipx (alternative):

pipx install aigit

These methods install AIGIT globally and isolate its dependencies, making it available as the aig command anywhere on your system.

Regular Installation

If you prefer a regular installation:

pip install aigit

Or using uv:

uv pip install aigit

Configuration

Before using AIGIT, you need to configure your OpenAI API key. Run the following command and enter your API key when prompted:

aig --config

Usage

$ aig -h
usage: aig [-h] [--config] [-y]

AI-powered Git Helper

options:
  -h, --help  show this help message and exit
  --config    Configure API Key
  -y, --yes   Auto commit without asking for confirmation

To use AIGIT, navigate to your Git repository and run the following command:

aig

AIGIT will check the status of your Git repository, generate a commit message, and ask for your confirmation before committing the changes. If you want to auto commit without confirmation, use the -y or --yes option:

aig -y

Development

Setup Development Environment

1. Clone the repository
2. Install uv if you haven't already: pip install uv
3. Install dependencies:

   uv pip install .

Making Changes

The project uses pyproject.toml for dependency management and build configuration. To add new dependencies:

uv add <package-name>

To remove dependencies:

uv remove <package-name>

Version Updates

When releasing a new version, update the version number in both:

1. pyproject.toml: Update the version = "x.x.x" field under [project]
2. aigit/__init__.py: Update the __version__ = "x.x.x" variable

Building and Publishing

1. Update the version as described above
2. Run the deployment script:

   ./scripts/deploy.sh

The script will:

• Clean any existing build artifacts
• Build the package with uv
• Upload to PyPI
• Clean up build artifacts if successful
• Keep build artifacts for inspection if upload fails

For manual deployment, you can run these commands individually:

# Clean artifacts
rm -rf dist/ build/ *.egg-info/

# Build
uv build

# Upload to PyPI
uvx twine upload dist/*
