Introducing Gitzen: The Future of Git Commit Automation

Are you tired of spending precious development time crafting the perfect commit message? Meet Gitzen, a groundbreaking AI-powered command-line tool that revolutionizes how developers interact with Git repositories.

What Makes Gitzen Special?

Gitzen isn’t just another Git helper – it’s an intelligent assistant that understands your code changes and generates meaningful commit messages automatically. The tool integrates seamlessly with popular AI providers like OpenAI and Google Gemini, bringing enterprise-grade artificial intelligence directly to your development workflow.

Four Core Commands That Transform Your Workflow

🚀 gitzen start - One-Time Setup

The interactive configuration wizard that gets you started in minutes. It guides you through:

• Template Selection: Choose from Conventional Commits, Angular, or Commitlint formats
• AI Model Selection: Pick from GPT-4, GPT-4o, or Google Gemini models
• Language Configuration: Support for 9 languages including English, Spanish, French, German, and more
• Message Length: Customize commit message size from 16-120 characters

🧠 gitzen commit - Smart Single Commits

Analyzes your staged changes and generates contextually relevant commit messages. The process:

1. Reads your staged changes using git diff --cached

📦 gitzen batch - Intelligent Multi-Commit Automation

The most powerful feature - automatically groups your unstaged changes into logical commits. Here’s how it works:

1. Analyzes Unstaged Changes: Scans all modified files in your working directory
2. AI-Powered Grouping: Uses structured AI responses to group related files by purpose and functionality
3. Generates Commit Plan: Creates appropriate commit messages for each logical group
4. Sequential Execution: After your approval, automatically stages and commits each group

Usage:

# Make multiple changes across different files
gitzen batch
# Review the proposed commit groups
# Approve and watch automatic commits happen

📊 gitzen summarize - Comprehensive Change Analysis

Get detailed insights into all your modifications before committing. Features:

• Analyzes both staged and unstaged changes
• Explains WHAT changed and WHY it’s relevant
• Supports language override with -l or --lang flag
• Perfect for code reviews and documentation

Usage:
