A Go-based tool that generates intelligent commit messages using Ollama's deepseek-r1:8b model by analyzing git diffs.

• 🤖 Uses local Ollama service with deepseek-r1:8b model
• 📝 Generates commit messages based on actual code changes
• 🎯 Limits commit messages to maximum 20 words
• 🚀 Simple command: just run gencommit
• 🔍 Automatically detects staged and unstaged changes

1. Go 1.22+ installed on your system
2. Ollama running locally with deepseek-r1:8b model downloaded
3. Git repository initialized

make install

make install-local

Note: If using install-local, ensure ~/.local/bin is in your PATH:

echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc
source ~/.zshrc

# Build the binary
go build -o gencommit main.go

# Move to a directory in your PATH
sudo cp gencommit /usr/local/bin/
# OR
cp gencommit ~/.local/bin/

1. Navigate to a git repository

   cd /path/to/your/git/repo

2. Make some changes to your code

3. Stage your changes (optional)

   git add .

4. Generate a commit message

   gencommit

5. Commit with the generated message

   git commit -m "your generated message here"

1. The tool checks if you're in a git repository
2. It analyzes the git diff (staged changes first, then unstaged)
3. Sends the diff to your local Ollama service using the deepseek-r1:8b model
4. Generates a concise commit message (max 20 words)
5. Displays the message and provides the git commit command

The tool connects to Ollama at http://localhost:11434 by default. If you need to change this, modify the URL in the generateCommitMessage function in main.go.

• Ensure you're in a directory with a .git folder
• Run git init if you haven't initialized the repository

• Make sure Ollama is running: ollama serve
• Verify the deepseek-r1:8b model is downloaded: ollama list
• Check if Ollama is accessible at http://localhost:11434

• Stage your changes with git add . or make new changes
• The tool checks both staged and unstaged changes
