Commify

Commify

Commify is a command-line interface (CLI) tool that generates meaningful, structured commit messages for Git repositories using AI. By analyzing the staged changes (diff) in your repository, it creates commit messages that follow conventional commit guidelines, optionally including emojis for better context and readability. Don't forget to ⭐ the project!

Ollama provider can be slow without a good GPU or a very large AI model. It's not a Commify optimization problem.

Feel free to submit a pull request or open an issue to add more providers!

Apikey Saving

Commify allows you to save and modify API keys for certain providers (openai and groq). This can be useful if you frequently use these providers and want to avoid entering the API key each time you run Commify.

Saving an API Key

To save an API key for a provider, use the --save-apikey option followed by the provider name and the API key. For example:

commify --save-apikey openai sk-...

This will save the API key for the openai provider. You can also save an API key for the groq provider:

commify --save-apikey groq gsk-...

The saved API key will be stored in a file located at ~/.commify_env and will be automatically used in future Commify runs.

Modifying an API Key

If you need to update an existing API key, use the --mod-apikey option followed by the provider name and the new API key. For example:

commify --mod-apikey openai sk-...

This will update the saved API key for the openai provider. Similarly, you can update the API key for the groq provider:

commify --mod-apikey groq gsk-...

Using a Temporary API Key

If you prefer not to save the API key, you can provide it directly when running Commify using the --apikey option. For example:

commify /path/to/repo --provider openai --apikey sk-...

This will use the provided API key for the current run without saving it.
