AI Powered Git Commit Assistant

A developer built cmt-cli, an open-source command-line tool that analyzes staged Git changes and generates commit messages using OpenAI models, defaulting to gpt-4o-mini. The tool, installable from PyPI via `uv tool install cmt-cli`, lets developers run `cmt suggest` to draft messages while keeping final control over the commit.

Writing a good Git commit messages is a small but repetitive work of software development. I often found myself spending time deciding whether a change should be feat , fix or chore , and then trying to write a description. So I decided to build a small cli tool to help. cmt-cli Git Commit assistant that analyzes your staged changes and generates a commit message. A commit message saying updated stuff or wip doesn't tell us much when looking through Git history. A good commit message should be like: I wanted to automate the repetative part while still keeping the developer in control of the final message. The flow is simple: cmt suggest OpenAI cmt-cli Install it directly from PyPi uv tool install cmt-cli Then configure your OpenAI API key and preferred model default is gpt-4o-mini cmt config set Now got to any Git repository, stage your changes and run cmt suggest That's it.
