The minimum supported version of Node.js is the latest v14. Check your Node.js version with
node --version
.
-
Install aicg:
npm install -g aicg
-
Retrieve your API key from GROQ
Note: If you haven't already, you'll have to create an account and set up billing.
-
Set the key so aicg can use it:
aicg config set GROQ_API_KEY=<your token>
This will create a
.aicg
file in your home directory.
Check the installed version with:
aicg --version
If it's not the latest version, run:
npm update -g aicg
You can call aicg
directly to generate a commit message for your staged changes:
git add <files...>
aicg
aicg
passes down unknown flags to git commit
, so you can pass in commit
flags.
For example, you can stage all changes in tracked files with as you commit:
aicg --all # or -a
๐ย Tip: Use the
aic
alias ifaicg
is too long for you.
Sometimes the recommended commit message isn't the best so you want it to generate a few to pick from. You can generate multiple commit messages at once by passing in the --generate <i>
flag, where 'i' is the number of generated messages:
aicg --generate <i> # or -g <i>
Warning: this uses more tokens, meaning it costs more.
If you'd like to generate Conventional Commits, you can use the --type
flag followed by conventional
. This will prompt aicg
to format the commit message according to the Conventional Commits specification:
aicg --type conventional # or -t conventional
This feature can be useful if your project follows the Conventional Commits standard or if you're using tools that rely on this commit format.
You can also integrate aicg with Git via the prepare-commit-msg
hook. This lets you use Git like you normally would, and edit the commit message before committing.
In the Git repository you want to install the hook in:
aicg hook install
In the Git repository you want to uninstall the hook from:
aicg hook uninstall
-
Stage your files and commit:
git add <files...> git commit # Only generates a message when it's not passed in
If you ever want to write your own message instead of generating one, you can simply pass one in:
git commit -m "My message"
-
aicg will generate the commit message for you and pass it back to Git. Git will open it with the configured editor for you to review/edit it.
-
Save and close the editor to commit!
To retrieve a configuration option, use the command:
aicg config get <key>
For example, to retrieve the API key, you can use:
aicg config get GROQ_API_KEY
You can also retrieve multiple configuration options at once by separating them with spaces:
aicg config get GROQ_API_KEY generate
To set a configuration option, use the command:
aicg config set <key>=<value>
For example, to set the API key, you can use:
aicg config set GROQ_API_KEY=<your-api-key>
You can also set multiple configuration options at once by separating them with spaces, like
aicg config set GROQ_API_KEY=<your-api-key> generate=3 locale=en
Required
The GROQ API key. You can retrieve it from GROQ API Keys page.
Default: en
The locale to use for the generated commit messages. Consult the list of codes in: https://wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639-1_codes.
Default: 1
The number of commit messages to generate to pick from.
Note, this will use more tokens as it generates more results.
Set a HTTP/HTTPS proxy to use for requests.
To clear the proxy option, you can use the command (note the empty value after the equals sign):
aicg config set proxy=
Default: mixtral-8x7b-32768
Use the following command to select different models with aicg and save the selection:
aicg models select
This command configures and saves your selection so when you run aicg next time, it will use the selected model.
Alternatively, you can override the selected model for a specific time using:
aicg -k <model-id>
The timeout for network requests in milliseconds.
Default: 10000
(10 seconds)
aicg config set timeout=20000 # 20s
The maximum character length of the generated commit message.
Default: 50
aicg config set max-length=100
Default: ""
(Empty string)
The type of commit message to generate. Set this to "conventional" to generate commit messages that follow the Conventional Commits specification:
aicg config set type=conventional
You can clear this option by setting it to an empty string:
aicg config set type=
This CLI tool runs git diff
to grab all your latest code changes, sends them to GROQ, then returns the AI generated commit message.
Video coming soon where I rebuild it from scratch to show you how to easily build your own CLI tools powered by AI.
