ProCommit
A VS Code extension for generating clean, customizable commit messages with AI.
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
- Install ProCommit from the Marketplace or OpenVSX.
- Open a Git repository in VS Code.
- Configure your generator and credentials:

procommit.apiKey
- Command Palette →

- Source Control view → click
Generate ProCommit - Or Command Palette →
ProCommit: Generate ProCommit
- Source Control view → click
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)
- Download a VSIX from the Direct Link.
- In VS Code, open Extensions →
...→ Install from VSIX… - Select the downloaded VSIX file.

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