2. Generate AI commit message

git-axiom commit

3. Review and confirm The tool will:

• Analyze your staged changes
• Generate a professional commit message
• Show you the message for approval
• Commit automatically if you approve

For Branch Naming:

1. Make your changes (don't stage yet)

# Edit your files
vim src/auth.js

2. Generate AI branch name

git-axiom branch
# or specify branch type
git-axiom branch --type feature

3. Review and create The tool will:

• Analyze your current changes
• Generate a descriptive branch name
• Show you the suggested name
• Create and switch to the branch if approved

• refactor: Code refactoring
• test: Adding or updating tests
• chore: Maintenance tasks

Examples:

feat(auth): add OAuth2 authentication
fix(api): resolve user data validation error
docs(readme): update installation instructions
refactor(utils): simplify helper functions

🛠️ Configuration

Environment Variables

| Variable | Description | Default | |----------|-------------|---------| | OPENAI_API_KEY | Your OpenAI API key (required) | - | | AI_MODEL | OpenAI model to use | gpt-3.5-turbo | | AI_BASE_URL | Custom API endpoint | https://api.openai.com/v1 |

Custom Configuration Example

export OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-..."

🐛 Troubleshooting

Common Issues

"No staged changes found"

# Solution: Stage your changes first
git add .

"OpenAI API key not found"

# Solution: Set your API key
export OPENAI_API_KEY="your-key-here"

"Not a git repository"

# Solution: Make sure you're in a Git repository
git init

"Rate limit exceeded"

# Solution: Wait a moment and try again
# Or upgrade your OpenAI plan

"The changes are too large to analyze"

# Solution: Commit smaller chunks of changes
git add specific-file.js
git-axiom commit

# Or stage specific lines/hunks
git add -p
git-axiom commit

"Maximum context length exceeded"

# Solution: The tool automatically handles large diffs
# But you can also commit changes in smaller parts
git add src/
git-axiom commit
git add tests/
git-axiom commit

"No changes found to analyze" (for branch command)

# Solution: Make some changes to your files first
vim src/example.js
git-axiom branch

"Branch already exists"

# Solution: Use a different branch type or delete existing branch
git branch -D feature/existing-branch
git-axiom branch --type fix
