Installation

code --install-extension git-commit-ai-1.0.0.vsix

Git Commit AI For VSCode 1.0.0

v1.0.0 — First Release

AI-powered git commit message generator for VS Code. Works with any OpenAI-compatible API.

Why this exists

The official GitHub Copilot Chat extension automatically appends Co-Authored-By: Copilot to generated commit messages. This extension doesn't. The commit message should reflect your intent, not an advertisement for the tool that helped draft it.

Features

• Sparkle button in the SCM commit input box — one click, no ceremony
• Works with any OpenAI-compatible API: OpenAI, Azure, Ollama, DeepSeek, local LLMs
• Fully configurable endpoint, API key, model, temperature, and custom instructions via VS Code settings
• Prefers staged changes; falls back to working tree + untracked if nothing is staged
• Recent commit style reference for consistent formatting

Installation

Download git-commit-ai-1.0.0.vsix and install via:

code --install-extension git-commit-ai-1.0.0.vsix

Or in VS Code: Extensions → ... → Install from VSIX...

Launch VS Code with --enable-proposed-api git-commit-ai.git-commit-ai if running outside dev mode.
