Claude Auto-Commit

🤖 AI-powered Git commit message generator using Claude Code SDK

Claude Auto-Commit is an open-source tool that automatically generates intelligent Git commit messages by analyzing your code changes using Claude Code SDK. It integrates seamlessly into your development workflow with enhanced performance, reliability, and modern JavaScript architecture.

🌟 Transform Your Commit History

Say goodbye to vague commit messages. Let Claude AI write meaningful commits that tell the story of your code.

⚠️ Important Notes:

• Requires Claude Pro/Max subscription and Claude CLI authentication
• No API key needed - uses Claude Code SDK with OAuth authentication
• Run claude login first if not already authenticated
• By default, this tool will automatically stage all changes and commit
• Use --push flag to enable auto-push to remote repository
• Use --dry-run flag to preview commit messages without committing
