Git Comment

Git Comment is a fast, secure, and provider-agnostic VS Code extension that automatically generates high-quality Git commit messages from your changes using state-of-the-art AI models.

✨ Features

• One-Click Commit Generation: Click the sparkles (✨) icon in the Source Control view title to instantly generate commit messages.
• Staged & Unstaged Fallback: Automatically reads staged changes, or falls back to unstaged working tree changes if nothing is staged.
• Real-Time Streaming: Watch the commit message write itself character-by-character directly into your Source Control input box.
• Interactive Settings GUI: Customize your settings using a beautiful dashboard. Configure active providers, model names, and prompt templates easily.
• Secure Key Storage: Credentials and API keys are stored securely using VS Code's SecretStorage (never saved in plain-text configuration files).
• Conventional Commits: Built-in support for the Conventional Commits specification (e.g. feat(auth): add google sign-in, fix(style): resolve form alignment).
• Bring Your Own Key (BYOK): Supports multiple cloud and local providers out-of-the-box:
  • Google Gemini
  • OpenAI (or any OpenAI-compatible API)
  • Anthropic Claude
  • Groq
  • DeepSeek
  • OpenRouter
  • Ollama (Local LLMs)

🚀 How to Use

2. Open Source Control: Open the VS Code Source Control view (Ctrl + Shift + G).
3. Generate: Click the Sparkle (✨) button in the SCM title menu (or run Git Comment: Generate Commit Message from the Command Palette).

• Your code diffs are only sent to your configured AI provider when you explicitly click the generate button.
• Plain-text logs never expose your keys.
