Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Writes your git commit messages for you with AI

Readme


Setup

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

  1. Install aicommits:

    npm install -g aicommits
  2. Retrieve your API key from OpenAI

    Note: If you haven't already, you'll have to create an account and set up billing.

  3. Set the key so aicommits can use it:

    aicommits config set OPENAI_KEY=<your token>

    This will create a .aicommits file in your home directory.

Upgrading

Check the installed version with:

aicommits --version

If it's not the latest version, run:

npm update -g aicommits

Usage

CLI mode

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

git add <files...>
aicommits

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

For example, you can stage all changes in tracked files with as you commit:

aicommits --all # or -a

👉 Tip: Use the aic alias if aicommits is too long for you.

Generate multiple recommendations

Sometimes the recommended commit message isn't the best so you want it to generate a few to pick from. You can generate multiple commit messages at once by passing in the --generate <i> flag, where 'i' is the number of generated messages:

aicommits --generate <i> # or -g <i>

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

Git hook

You can also integrate aicommits with Git via the prepare-commit-msg hook. This lets you use Git like you normally would, and edit the commit message before committing.

Install

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

aicommits hook install

Uninstall

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

aicommits 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. Aicommits 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

Reading a configuration value

To retrieve a configuration option, use the command:

aicommits config get <key>

For example, to retrieve the API key, you can use:

aicommits config get OPENAI_KEY

You can also retrieve multiple configuration options at once by separating them with spaces:

aicommits config get OPENAI_KEY generate

Setting a configuration value

To set a configuration option, use the command:

aicommits config set <key>=<value>

For example, to set the API key, you can use:

aicommits config set OPENAI_KEY=<your-api-key>

You can also set multiple configuration options at once by separating them with spaces, like

aicommits config set OPENAI_KEY=<your-api-key> generate=3 locale=en

Options

OPENAI_KEY

Required

The OpenAI API key. You can retrieve it from OpenAI API Keys page.

locale

Default: en

The locale to use for the generated commit messages. Consult the list of codes in: https://wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639-1_codes.

generate

Default: 1

The number of commit messages to generate to pick from.

Note, this will use more tokens as it generates more results.

proxy

Set a HTTP/HTTPS proxy to use for requests.

To clear the proxy option, you can use the command (note the empty value after the equals sign):

aicommits config set proxy=

model

Default: gpt-3.5-turbo

The Chat Completions (/v1/chat/completions) model to use. Consult the list of models available in the OpenAI Documentation.

Tip: If you have access, try upgrading to gpt-4 for next-level code analysis. It can handle double the input size, but comes at a higher cost. Check out OpenAI's website to learn more.

timeout

The timeout for network requests to the OpenAI API in milliseconds.

Default: 10000 (10 seconds)

aicommits config set timeout=20000 # 20s

max-length

The maximum character length of the generated commit message.

Default: 50

aicommits config set max-length=100

How it works

This CLI tool runs git diff to grab all your latest code changes, sends them to OpenAI's GPT-3, then returns the AI generated commit message.

Video coming soon where I rebuild it from scratch to show you how to easily build your own CLI tools powered by AI.
