A git plugin, for when you draw a blank with commit messages.

I built a small Git plugin called git-ai-tools that uses LLMs (OpenAI, DeepSeek, and Gemini) to generate commit message suggestions directly from my git diffs. It’s designed to integrate natively with Git and stay out of my way until I need it.

Many code editors offer AI-powered commit message suggestions, but I wanted something that:

1. Works as a Git subcommand (e.g., git ai commit).
2. Is completely optional - only runs when explicitly invoked, so it doesn’t interfere with my workflow.
3. Can be configured easily via git config, no separate config files or external setup

Install

PIP

pip install git-ai-tools

or install from source:

git clone https://github.com/Mik1337/git-ai-tools.git
cd git-ai-tools
pip install -e .

Setup

git config --global git-ai.ai-model openai  
git config --global git-ai.openai-key "your-openai-api-key"  

(Supports OpenAI, DeepSeek, and Gemini.)

Usage

$ git ai commit

Opens your default Git commit message editor with a suggested message.

$ git ai suggest

Outputs a suggested message to the terminal for preview or further editing.

Options

git ai suggest              # Suggestion based on staged changes
git ai suggest --unstaged   # Suggestion based on unstaged changes
git ai suggest --last       # Suggestion based on the last commit (useful for amending)
git ai suggest --shorter    # Generate a shorter message
git ai suggest --longer     # Generate a longer message
git ai suggest "context"    # Provide custom context for the suggestion

I built this to scratch my own itch, but maybe you'll find it useful too.
