commit-pilot

commit-pilot

This package uses ChatGPT to generate commit messages based on your changes. It provides a convenient way to generate commit messages for your development workflow, if you can't think of a good commit message to put in.

npm install --save-dev commit-pilot

Usage

After installing, set up a custom script in package.json to run commit-pilot before commiting:

{
    ...
    "scripts": {
        "commit": "npx commit-pilot"
    },
    ...
}

and then before commiting, run:

npm run commit

Or simply set it up in a pre-commit hook workflow with husky in the pre-commit file:

#!/usr/bin/env sh
. "$(dirname -- "$0")/_/husky.sh"

npx commit-pilot --skip-commit

Be sure to pass in --skip-commit, otherwise commit-pilot will attempt to commit the message by itself instead of passing it to git

Next features

• Add option to include gitignore to ignore changes from certain files
• Generate commit messages for even larger changes, currently ChatGPT limits word count for large charges
