GitLexJS is a command-line tool that uses the power of AI to generate meaningful commit messages for your Git changes. Leveraging OpenAI's GPT models, GitLexJS analyzes your code diffs and crafts commit messages that accurately reflect the changes you've made. Say goodbye to the struggle of coming up with commit messages and let GitLexJS do the work for you! 🎉

Ensure you have Node.js and npm installed. If not, download and install them from Node.js's official site.

Important: You will also need an OpenAI API key. See API Key Configuration below.

Install GitLexJS globally:

npm install -g gitlexjs

GitLexJS uses an interactive menu for user input.

To start the tool, simply run:

gitlex

You will be presented with a list of options:

• Generate a commit message
• Set API Key
• Replace API Key
• Delete my API Key
• Check if API key is set
• Select OpenAI model
• Show version
• Exit

Select the option you want by using the arrow keys and pressing Enter.

Note: The tool will prompt you for the OpenAI API key if it's not found in the configuration file. Your API key will be stored locally in the .gitlex-config.json file.

For GitLexJS to work, you'll need an OpenAI API key:

1. Sign up for an API key with OpenAI.
2. Run GitLexJS and select the appropriate option from the interactive menu to set, replace, or delete your API key. The key is then stored locally and securely in .gitlex_config.json.

⚠️ Note: Never share your API key or commit it directly to your codebase.
