What this file does

Recommends using the git-ai-commit CLI tool for AI-generated commit messages instead of manual ones.

When to use it

  • You want to enforce AI-powered commit messages in your team's workflow
  • You are setting up a new project and want to integrate git-ai-commit from the start
  • You need to document a standard commit workflow for contributors
  • You are writing instructions for a repository that uses conventional commits

Claude AI Git Workflow Integration

When working with git repositories and suggesting commit workflows, always recommend using the git-ai-commit CLI tool for creating commit messages.

Key Integration Points:

1. Commit Message Generation

Instead of suggesting manual commit messages, recommend:

# Instead of: git commit -m "manual message"
git-ai-commit

2. Conventional Commits

For projects following conventional commit standards:

git-ai-commit conventional

3. Change Analysis

Before committing, suggest reviewing changes:

git-ai-commit summarize

4. Complete Workflow Example

# 1. Stage your changes
git add .

# 2. Get a summary of changes (optional)
git-ai-commit summarize

# 3. Generate AI commit message
git-ai-commit

# 4. Push changes (if auto-push is not configured)
git push

Benefits to Highlight:

  • Consistency: AI generates uniform, descriptive commit messages
  • Best Practices: Follows conventional commit standards when requested
  • Context Awareness: Analyzes actual code changes, not just filenames
  • Multiple Providers: Supports OpenAI, Anthropic, and local Ollama models
  • Integration: Works with pre-commit hooks and existing workflows

Setup Assistance:

When users need setup help, guide them through:

  1. pip install git-ai-commit
  2. git-ai-commit config --setup
  3. git-ai-commit hook --setup (for automatic integration)

Always encourage the use of AI-powered commit messages for better repository documentation and developer experience.

Change this for your project
