About The Project

Generate the commit message with AI (ChatGPT).

aimmit

Set up the AIMMIT_API_KEY [Payment Required]

Before using aimmit, you need to set up the AIMMIT_API_KEY (i.e. OpenAI API key) environment variable.

AIMMIT_API_KEY=... aimmit

Or you can set it in the .bashrc or .zshrc file:

export AIMMIT_API_KEY=...

Or you can specify the API key with the -k option:

aimmit -k ...

You can get the API key from OpenAI.

Note that this is a paid service by OpenAI.

Alternative: Use a Reverse Proxy [Free Depending on the Provider]

Instead of using the official OpenAI paid service, there are some free reverse proxy services available but may have some limitations and of less stability.

Here is one example:

aimmit -r https://proxy/api

Or you can use the environment variable AIMMIT_REVERSE_PROXY_URL:

export AIMMIT_REVERSE_PROXY_URL=...

Please note that a reverse proxy service may have security issues. You should use it at your own risk.

A free reverse proxy service is provided by default in this project by me. I promise that it will NOT collect any of your data. However, it may go down at any time.
