🎯 Who Should Use This?

Perfect for:

• ✅ AWS Bedrock users - Only tool with native support
• ✅ Claude Code users - Auto-detects your setup
• ✅ Enterprise teams - AWS compliance, cost-optimized
• ✅ Speed-focused devs - 1-3s commits, not 5-10s
• ✅ Cost-conscious teams - 30x cheaper than alternatives

Setup

1. Configure API Key

The package supports multiple authentication methods:

Option A: Claude Code with AWS Bedrock ✅

• Automatically detected and uses claude CLI
• Works with AWS SSO authentication
• No additional setup needed
• See BEDROCK_SETUP.md for details

Option B: Claude Code with Standard API

• API key is automatically detected from ~/.claude/settings.json
• No additional setup needed

Option C: Without Claude Code

• Copy .env.example to .env
• Get your API key from console.anthropic.com
• Add to .env:

  ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your_api_key_here

Advanced Configuration (Optional)

You can customize the authentication method and model in .env:

# Force authentication method (auto, api, cli)
GIT_AUTO_FLOW_AUTH_METHOD=auto

# Select model for API mode (haiku, sonnet)
GIT_AUTO_FLOW_MODEL=haiku  # Fast & cheap (recommended)

See CONFIGURATION.md for details.

2. Setup Auto-Fetch (Optional)

For VS Code users:

npm run setup -- --vscode

This creates a VS Code task that automatically runs git fetch when you open the folder.

For Linux users with systemd:

npm run setup -- --systemd --time 09:00

This creates a systemd timer to fetch daily at 9:00 AM.

Usage

Smart Commit

# Add all changes, generate commit message, and commit
npm start

# Or use the CLI directly
npx git-commit-auto

# Add, commit, and push
npx git-commit-auto --push

# Dry run (see generated message without committing)
npx git-commit-auto --dry-run

# Only commit staged changes (don't auto-stage)
npx git-commit-auto --no-add

# Push to a specific remote
npx git-commit-auto --push --remote upstream

Options

• -p, --push - Push after commit
• -n, --no-add - Skip staging all files (only commit staged changes)
• -d, --dry-run - Show generated message without committing
• -r, --remote <remote> - Remote to push to (default: origin)

How It Works

1. Stages changes (unless --no-add is used)
2. Analyzes git diff to understand what changed
3. Generates commit message using Claude AI following conventional commit standards
4. Shows the message for review
5. Commits the changes
6. Pushes (if --push flag is used)

Conventional Commit Format

The tool generates messages following the Conventional Commits specification:

type(scope): description

[optional body]

[optional footer]

Types:

• feat: New feature
• fix: Bug fix
• docs: Documentation changes
• style: Code style changes (formatting, missing semicolons, etc.)
• refactor: Code refactoring
• perf: Performance improvements
• test: Adding or updating tests
• chore: Maintenance tasks
• ci: CI/CD changes
• build: Build system changes

Examples

Example 1: Feature addition

$ npx git-commit-auto

🔍 Analyzing changes...
✔ Changes staged
✔ Found 3 changed file(s)

Changed files:
  - src/api/users.js (modified)
  - src/models/user.js (modified)
  - tests/api/users.test.js (new)

✔ Commit message generated

📝 Generated commit message:
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
feat(api): add user profile endpoint

Add GET /api/users/:id endpoint to fetch user profiles.
Includes validation and error handling.
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
✔ Changes committed

✅ Done!

Example 2: Bug fix with push

$ npx git-commit-auto --push

📝 Generated commit message:
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
fix(auth): resolve token expiration issue

Fix bug where expired tokens were not properly invalidated,
causing authentication errors for logged-in users.
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
✔ Changes committed
✔ Pushed to origin/main

✅ Done!

Troubleshooting

API Key Issues

If you get "ANTHROPIC_API_KEY not found":

1. Check if Claude Code is installed: claude --version
2. If not, create a .env file with your API key
3. If yes, ensure ~/.claude/settings.json contains your API key

No Changes to Commit

If you see "No changes to commit":

• Check git status to see if you have any changes
• Make sure you're in a git repository

VS Code Task Not Running

If auto-fetch doesn't work in VS Code:

1. Open Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P)
2. Search "Tasks: Run Task"
3. Look for "Git Fetch on Startup"
4. Check .vscode/tasks.json was created

🌟 Why This Stands Out

Compared to Other AI Commit Tools

Most tools require OpenAI/GPT API keys and take 5-10 seconds per commit.

git-auto-flow is different:

• ☁️ Only tool with AWS Bedrock - Perfect for enterprise AWS users
• ⚡ 5-10x faster - Uses optimized Haiku model (1-3s vs 5-10s)
• 💰 30x cheaper - $0.0003 vs $0.009 per commit
• 🔍 Zero config - Auto-detects Claude Code, Bedrock, or API
• 📦 Complete workflow - Stage + commit + push + auto-fetch

Real Performance

# Other tools
$ time other-ai-commit
real    0m8.234s  # ~8 seconds
cost    $0.009    # per commit

# git-auto-flow  
$ time git-commit-auto
real    0m1.847s  # ~2 seconds ⚡
cost    $0.0003   # per commit 💰

For 100 commits/month:

• Other tools: ~14 minutes, $0.90
• git-auto-flow: ~3 minutes, $0.03 ✅
