About
What is gptcommit?
gptcommit is a git prepare-commit-msg hook designed to automate the creation of commit messages using large language models like OpenAI's GPT. This tool integrates directly into your Git workflow, generating commit messages based on your code changes, allowing developers to focus more on coding. It supports various configuration options, including setting a custom OpenAI API key, choosing different OpenAI models, and specifying the summarizing language. Users can also configure proxy settings and allow re-summarizing when amending commits. gptcommit aims to improve the clarity and consistency of commit messages, which is crucial for collaboration and maintaining a clean project history. It's installed locally via cargo or Homebrew and requires an OpenAI API key for operation.

FAQs
How can I reduce my OpenAI usage bill when using gptcommit?
To reduce costs, you can switch to a more cost-effective OpenAI model via the `openai.model` configuration option. Additionally, reducing the size of prompts and diff data sent to OpenAI can help, as billing is based on both sent and generated tokens.
Why is the githook not running when I commit?
By default, the githook only runs for new commits. If a commit template is set or you are amending a commit, gptcommit skips to avoid overwriting your input. You can allow gptcommit to summarize amended commits by setting `allow-amend` to true in your configuration.
Can I use gptcommit with a custom OpenAI API base URL or proxy?
Yes, gptcommit supports configuring a custom OpenAI API base URL and proxy. You can set these options using `gptcommit config set openai.api_base` and `gptcommit config set openai.proxy` respectively, either globally or for a local repository.
