# Git Commit Message Generator (Reasoning Version)

Welcome to the **Git Commit Message Generator**—an AI-powered tool that turns your code diffs into clear, meaningful commit messages with detailed reasoning. Hosted on Hugging Face, this reasoning version not only provides a commit message but also explains the thought process behind it, making your commit history more transparent and informative.

**Note**: This is the reasoning version of the Git Commit Message Generator. For other versions (e.g., Chain of Draft or standard), check out my [Ollama repository](https://ollama.com/tavernari/git-commit-message) for more details.

**Beta Status**: This version is in beta. Your feedback is essential to refine it further!

## Output Format

The model outputs two main components wrapped in a structured format:

1. **Reasoning**: A detailed breakdown of the changes in your diff and the logic behind the commit message.
2. **Commit Message**: A concise summary of the changes, followed by a more detailed description.

**Example Output**:

```
<reasoning>
The diff shows changes in `WalletManagerView.swift`. The most significant changes are the 
addition of a new `@State` variable `monthlySpentGoal` and modifications to existing functions 
and state variables. The `monthlySpentGoal` is now used in various places, such as in the 
`onSave` closure and in the `hasChanges` function. The purpose of these changes is to add a new 
feature that allows users to set a monthly spending goal for their wallets, which can be 
updated and saved with other wallet information.

The changes include:
- Adding a new `@State` variable `monthlySpentGoal`.
- Updating the `onSave` closure to include `monthlySpentGoal`.
- Using `monthlySpentGoal` in the `hasChanges` function to determine if the wallet's spending 
goal has changed.
- Adding a new section `WalletGoalSpentSection` that uses `monthlySpentGoal`.
- Updating the `onSetAsMain` function to use `monthlySpentGoal`.
</reasoning>
Add monthly spending goal feature to WalletManagerView

This commit adds a new `@State` variable `monthlySpentGoal` to the `WalletManagerView` and 
updates the `onSave` closure and related functions to include and use this variable. This 
feature allows users to set and save a monthly spending goal for their wallets, enhancing the 
wallet management functionality.
```

This format gives you both the "why" and the "what" of your commit, enhancing clarity and context.

## Using the Model

You can interact with the model in two ways:

### 1. Web Interface
- Go to the [Hugging Face Model Page](https://huggingface.co/Tavernari/git-commit-message).
- Paste your git diff into the input box.
- Click "Generate" to get the reasoning and commit message.

### 2. API Integration
- Use the Hugging Face Inference API to integrate the model into your workflows.
- Example in Python:

```python
import requests

API_URL = "https://api-inference.huggingface.co/models/Tavernari/git-commit-message"
headers = {"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_HF_TOKEN"}

def query(payload):
    response = requests.post(API_URL, headers=headers, json=payload)
    return response.json()

diff = """
diff --git a/file1.py b/file1.py
index 83db48f..bf2a9a2 100644
--- a/file1.py
+++ b/file1.py
@@ -1,3 +1,4 @@
 def hello():
     print("Hello, world!")
+    print("Welcome to AI commit messages!")
"""
output = query({"inputs": diff})
print(output)
```

- Replace `YOUR_HF_TOKEN` with your Hugging Face API token. The response will include both reasoning and the commit message.

## Tips for Best Results

- **Clear Diffs**: Use small, focused diffs for more accurate messages.
- **Proper Formatting**: Ensure your diff is well-formatted for the model to interpret it correctly.
- **Output Handling**: When using the API, parse the response to separate reasoning and the commit message if needed.

## Installing `git-gen-commit` (Optional)

For a command-line experience, you can install the `git-gen-commit` script, which generates commit messages from your git diff.

**Disclaimer**: The `git-gen-commit` script uses the Ollama API, not the Hugging Face model. Results may differ from this reasoning version. For more details, visit my [Ollama repository](https://ollama.com/tavernari/git-commit-message).

### Installation (macOS/Linux)
Run this command to install `git-gen-commit` globally:

```bash
sudo sh -c 'curl -L https://gist.githubusercontent.com/Tavernari/b88680e71c281cfcdd38f46bdb164fee/raw/git-gen-commit \
     -o /usr/local/bin/git-gen-commit && chmod +x /usr/local/bin/git-gen-commit'
```

### Usage
Once installed, run:

```bash
git gen-commit
```

This will analyze your current git diff and generate a commit message via the Ollama API.
