🧠 Meet CommitBro — Your AI Git Sidekick
As devs, we spend hours writing clean, scalable, beautiful code...
...and then we do this:
git commit -m "update stuff"
😬 Same. So I built a tool that helps.
⚡ What is CommitBro?
CommitBro is a CLI + FastAPI-based tool that uses local LLMs (like Starling, Mistral via Ollama) to generate helpful, meaningful commit messages based on your staged changes.
Think of it as ChatGPT, but:
- 🧠 For Git commits
- 🔐 100% local
- 🌍 Speaks your language (literally)
✨ Features
- ✅ Suggests commit messages based on git diff --cached
- 🔁 Accept or regenerate suggestions
- 🌍 Multilingual support — Hindi, Spanish, German, English, etc.
- ⚙️ Local or remote model support (Mistral, Starling, TinyLlama, etc.)
- 🔐 Privacy-first (uses Ollama, so your code stays on your machine)
- 🐳 Optional FastAPI backend for remote training or expansion
- 📦 Available on PyPI: pip install commitbro

💬 Why I built this
I got tired of writing vague commit messages while building my own projects. I wanted something that:
- Saves time
- Keeps commits clean
- Doesn’t require sending my code to OpenAI
So... I built CommitBro. One laptop, one weekend, a couple sleepless nights, and a love for dev tools ❤️
🔥 What's next?
- VS Code extension
- Web UI to try it out
- CI integration
- Developer-facing training dashboards
🙏 Feedback welcome
I’d love your thoughts, suggestions, or PRs.
If you try it, let me know what you think!
