ProCommit

A VS Code extension for generating clean, customizable commit messages with AI.

Install from Marketplace · Install from OpenVSX

---

Features

• Generate commit messages directly from the Source Control view.
• Choose your generator: ChatGPT, Gemini, Ollama, LMStudio, Smithery, or a custom endpoint.
• Multilingual output: English, Japanese, Korean, German, and Russian.
• Clean formatting controls: emojis, multiple candidates, and scope formatting with file extensions.
• Fine-tune outputs with model, temperature, max tokens, and endpoint settings.

Quick Start

1. Install ProCommit from the Marketplace or OpenVSX.
2. Open a Git repository in VS Code.
3. Configure your generator and credentials:
   • Command Palette → ProCommit: Set API key (if your generator requires one)
   • Or Settings → procommit.apiKey
4. Generate a message:
   • Source Control view → click Generate ProCommit
   • Or Command Palette → ProCommit: Generate ProCommit

Requirements

• Depending on the generator you select, you may need an API key (for example, OpenAI / Gemini / Smithery).
• For local generators (like Ollama or LMStudio), you typically only need a reachable endpoint.

Install (Manually)

1. Download a VSIX from the Direct Link.
2. In VS Code, open Extensions → ... → Install from VSIX…
3. Select the downloaded VSIX file.

Example settings.json

{
  "procommit.general.generator": "ChatGPT",
  "procommit.general.language": "English",
  "procommit.general.messageApproveMethod": "Quick pick",
  "procommit.general.showEmoji": false,
  "procommit.general.useMultipleResults": true,
  "procommit.general.includeFileExtension": true,
  "procommit.apiKey": "",
  "procommit.endpoint": "",
  "procommit.model": "",
  "procommit.temperature": 0.2,
  "procommit.maxTokens": 196
}

Commands

Available in the Command Palette:

• ProCommit: Generate ProCommit
• ProCommit: Set API key
• ProCommit: Set Generator
• ProCommit: Set Language
• ProCommit: Set Message Approve Method
• ProCommit: Set Include File Extension in Scope
• ProCommit: Set Model Version
• ProCommit: Set Custom Endpoint
• ProCommit: Set Temperature
• ProCommit: Set Max Tokens

Troubleshooting

• No button in Source Control: ensure scmProvider == git and a Git repository is opened.
• API errors: verify procommit.apiKey, procommit.endpoint, and procommit.model match your selected generator.
• No changes detected: stage or modify files before generating; ProCommit uses your repository diff to create a message.
