AI Commit

Autogit’s AI Commit feature analyzes your staged changes and generates a meaningful commit message.

How It Works

1. Stage your changes
2. Press 7 to open the AI Commit popup
3. Autogit analyzes your diff and generates a commit message
4. Edit the message if needed

The AI analyzes:

• File changes (additions, modifications, deletions)
• Code context and patterns
• Recent commit history for style matching

Conventional Commits

AI-generated messages follow the Conventional Commits specification:

<type>(<scope>): <description>

Examples:

feat(auth): add OAuth2 login flow
fix(api): handle null response from server
docs(readme): update installation instructions
refactor(utils): extract date formatting logic
test(auth): add unit tests for token validation
chore(deps): upgrade React to v18

Common types:

• feat — new feature
• fix — bug fix
• docs — documentation
• refactor — code restructuring
• test — adding tests
• chore — maintenance tasks

Keyboard Shortcuts

Key	Action
7	Open AI Commit popup
p	Toggle auto-push

Auto-Push Option

Toggle auto-push with p in the commit popup. When enabled:

• After a successful commit, Autogit pushes to the remote
• Keeps your PR branches up to date automatically
• Shows push progress in the status bar

Tips

Small, Focused Commits

Make commits that change one thing. The AI generates better messages for focused diffs.

Meaningful Staging

Stage related changes together. If you’re fixing a bug and refactoring, make two separate commits.

Review Before Committing

Always read the generated message. Edit it if it doesn’t accurately describe your changes.
