AI-powered tool to automatically generate your git commit messages

Package Exports

    This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (auto-commit-ai) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

    Readme

    Setup

    The minimum supported version of Node.js is the latest v14. Check your Node.js version with node --version.

    1. Install aca:

      npm install -g auto-commit-ai
    2. Authenticate using browser:

      aca auth

      Opens browser for authentication. For manual entry:

      aca auth --manual
    3. (Optional) Configure settings:

      aca config

      Interactive interface to customize model, locale, commit type, etc.

    Upgrading

    Check the installed version with:

    aca --version

    Upgrade to the latest version:

    npm update -g auto-commit-ai

    Usage

    CLI mode

    You can call aca directly to generate a commit message for your staged changes:

    git add <files...>
    aca

    aca passes down unknown flags to git commit, so you can pass in commit flags.

    Available CLI flags

    • Stage all changes: Stage all tracked file changes before committing

      aca --all # or -a
    • Generate multiple options: Generate multiple commit messages to choose from

      aca --generate 3 # or -g 3

      Warning: this uses more tokens, meaning it costs more.

    • Exclude files: Exclude specific files from AI analysis

      aca --exclude "*.lock" --exclude "dist/*" # or -x

    Commit message types

    Configure via aca config:

    • None: Standard commit messages
    • Conventional: Conventional Commits format (feat:, fix:, etc.)
    • Gitmoji: Commit messages with emojis 😄

    Git hook

    Integrate aca with Git via the prepare-commit-msg hook. Use Git normally and edit commit messages before committing.

    Install

    In the Git repository you want to install the hook in:

    aca hook install

    Uninstall

    In the Git repository you want to uninstall the hook from:

    aca hook uninstall

    Usage

    1. Stage your files and commit:

      git add <files...>
      git commit # Only generates a message when it's not passed in

      If you ever want to write your own message instead of generating one, you can simply pass one in: git commit -m "My message"

    2. aca will generate the commit message for you and pass it back to Git. Git will open it with the configured editor for you to review/edit it.

    3. Save and close the editor to commit!

    Configuration

    Interactive Configuration

    aca config

    React-based terminal interface to:

    • Configure authentication token
    • Choose AI models and commit types
    • Set language preferences
    • Adjust timeout and message length
    • Get real-time validation and descriptions

    Authentication Commands

    aca auth              # Browser-based authentication (recommended)
    aca auth --manual     # Manual token entry

    Options

    Configuration Options

    Option Default Description
    authtoken (required) AutoCommit API authentication token
    locale en Language locale for commit messages (ISO 639-1 codes)
    generate 1 Number of commit messages to generate (1-5)
    type conventional Commit message format: none, conventional, gitmoji
    model deepseek-v3 AI model to use (see supported models below)
    timeout 30000 Request timeout in milliseconds
    max-length 50 Maximum commit message length

    Supported AI Models

    • deepseek-v3 - DeepSeek V3 model (default)
    • deepseek-r1 - DeepSeek R1 model
    • gemini-2.0 - Google Gemini 2.0 model
    • gpt-4-turbo - OpenAI GPT-4 Turbo model

    Configuration File Locations

    aca stores configuration in INI format:

    • Local: ./.autoCommit (project-specific, takes priority)
    • Global: ~/.autoCommit (user-wide default)

    How it works

    aca analyzes your staged git changes and generates intelligent commit messages using advanced AI models:

    1. Change Detection: Runs git diff --cached to capture your staged changes
    2. AI Analysis: Sends the diff to your selected AI model (DeepSeek, Gemini, or GPT-4)
    3. Smart Generation: Generates contextual commit messages based on the code changes
    4. Format Support: Outputs in your preferred format (conventional commits, gitmoji, or standard)

    The tool respects .gitignore patterns and automatically excludes lock files and build artifacts from analysis.
