# GitAssist AI-Powered Git Workflow Helper

Generate commit messages from diffs, write PR descriptions, create changelogs, suggest branch names. Every git workflow, automated.

---

Stop writing "fixed stuff" as your commit message.

Features

Commit Messages ```bash git-assist commit # Output: "feat(auth): add JWT refresh token rotation with 7-day expiry" ```

PR Descriptions ```bash git-assist pr --base main --head feature/auth-refresh # Output: Full PR description with summary, changes, testing notes ```

Changelogs ```bash git-assist changelog --since v1.2.0 # Output: Grouped by type (features, fixes, breaking changes) ```

Branch Names ```bash git-assist branch "add user authentication with OAuth" # Output: feature/add-oauth-user-authentication ```

Commit Convention

| Prefix | Use | |--------|-----| | `feat:` | New feature | | `fix:` | Bug fix | | `docs:` | Documentation | | `refactor:` | Code restructuring | | `test:` | Adding tests | | `chore:` | Maintenance |

How It Works

  1. Reads your staged diff (or branch diff for PRs)
  2. Analyzes what changed — files, functions, intent
  3. Generates a message that describes the *why*, not just the *what*
  4. Follows your configured convention

No external API calls. Uses your local or configured AI model. ---
