🤖 Provider Setup Guide

Commit Genius offers three modes of operation, giving you the flexibility to use it with or without AI capabilities:

1. Simple Mode (Default) - No AI Required

The simplest way to get started - works offline and requires no additional setup.

✨ Features:

• Works completely offline
• No API keys or external dependencies
• Smart heuristics for commit type detection
• Conventional commit format support
• Analyzes file changes and code patterns

🚀 Setup:

# Just install and use!
npm install -g bodhi-commit-genius-js
bodhi commit

2. OpenAI Mode - Cloud AI

Get high-quality commit messages using OpenAI's GPT models. Requires an API key but offers the best quality.

✨ Features:

• High-quality, context-aware commit messages
• Understands complex code changes
• Best semantic analysis of changes
• Handles multiple files intelligently

🔑 Setup:

1. Get your OpenAI API key:

   • Sign up at platform.openai.com
   • Go to API Keys section
   • Create a new API key

2. Configure Commit Genius:

   # Set API key permanently
   cmg config set apiKey your-openai-key
   cmg config set provider openai
      
   # Or use per command
   bodhi commit --provider openai --api-key your-openai-key

💡 Note: If OpenAI is unavailable or the API key is invalid, Commit Genius will automatically fall back to simple mode.

3. Ollama Mode - Local AI

Run AI locally on your machine. Free to use and privacy-friendly, but requires local installation.

✨ Features:

• Runs completely locally
• No API keys needed
• Good balance of quality and privacy
• Multiple models supported

🚀 Setup:

1. Install Ollama:

   • Windows:

     # Download and install from:
     https://ollama.ai/download/windows

   • Mac:

     brew install ollama

   • Linux:

     curl -fsSL https://ollama.ai/install.sh | sh

2. Pull the model (one-time setup):

   ollama pull codellama

3. Configure Commit Genius:

   # Set as default provider
   cmg config set provider ollama
      
   # Or use per command
   bodhi commit --provider ollama

💡 Note: If Ollama is not running or encounters an error, Commit Genius will automatically fall back to simple mode.

| Feature | Simple | OpenAI | Ollama | |---------------------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| | Setup Required | None | API Key | Local Install | | Works Offline | ✅ | ❌ | ✅ | | Message Quality | Good | Best | Very Good | | Privacy | Best | Cloud-Based | Local Only | | Cost | Free | Pay-per-use | Free | | Speed | Fastest | Fast | Moderate | | Resource Usage | Minimal | Cloud-Based | Local GPU/CPU |
