I've just released git-gpt-commit v0.9.0! 🎉

I've just released git-gpt-commit v0.9.0 — a Git extension that uses OpenAI's GPT models to automatically generate commit messages via the git gpt commit command.

---

What’s New in v0.9.0 ✨

🚀 Support for GPT-4o

The default model has been upgraded to OpenAI’s GPT-4o. This model is known for its blazing-fast response speed (about twice as fast as GPT-4.1), allowing it to generate commit messages in an instant. It’s also very cost-efficient, at half the price of GPT-4-turbo.

---

🌐 Language Selection Command

Previously, only English was supported. Now, with:

git gpt lang

You can choose from 12 languages for your commit messages: English, Spanish, Japanese, French, German, Italian, Korean, Chinese (Simplified & Traditional), Dutch, Russian, and Brazilian Portuguese.

---

🏷️ Prefix Toggle Command

Previously, there was no option to add prefixes to your commits. Now, with:

git gpt prefix

You can toggle the inclusion of commit prefixes like feat:, fix:, or refactor:.

---

🔑 API Key Management

Previously, you had to write your API key in a .env file in your project directory. Now, with:

git gpt open-api-key

You can now safely add and manage your OpenAI API key directly from the CLI. The traditional .env method is still supported as well.

---

⚙️ Configuration Management

git gpt config

You can now view all your current settings at once. Checking and updating configuration has never been easier.

---

How to Use

Once installed, start by registering your OpenAI API key using the command above.

Then, just stage your changes with git add, and run:

git gpt commit

The tool will analyze the staged changes, send them to the GPT model, and generate a context-aware commit message. You can accept the suggestion as-is or cancel and write your own message if you'd prefer.

---

Installation

You’ll need an OpenAI API key.

npm install -g @laststance/git-gpt-commit

Why I Created git-gpt-commit

While IDEs like VSCode and Cursor offer AI-assisted commit message generation, I couldn’t find a CLI tool that does the same — and that’s where I spend most of my time working with Git. Sometimes I just don’t feel like coming up with a message, so I wanted to make the process easier 😅

---

Most of the features I personally wanted are now implemented, so I’m pretty happy with this release. If you have ideas to make it even better, feel free to send a PR — I’d love to see your contributions! 😄
