OpenGit Composer

OpenGit Composer is a VS Code extension that turns staged git changes into semantic, reviewable commit drafts with AI.

It groups related changes, explains the reasoning, and lets you inspect, edit, and commit from a dedicated composer panel or the Activity Bar container.

Installation

Marketplace

Install it from the VS Code Extensions view when published to the marketplace.

VSIX

Download the VSIX directly:

Download opengit-composer-2.0.5.vsix

Then install it with:

code --install-extension opengit-composer-2.0.5.vsix

Features

• AI-assisted commit planning from staged changes
• Support for multiple providers:
  • OpenAI
  • Anthropic
  • Groq
  • Google Gemini
  • Kimi (Moonshot)
  • Ollama for local/offline use
• Semantic grouping of changes into atomic commits
• Conventional, Angular, Gitmoji, and custom commit styles
• Interactive diff viewer and draft editor
• Batch commit execution with progress feedback
• Provider connection testing and model availability checks
• Privacy controls for excluded files and redacted patterns

How It Works

1. Stage the changes you want to commit.
2. Open OpenGit Composer from the VS Code Activity Bar.
3. Choose a provider and model in AI Controls.
4. Add an API key if your provider needs one.
5. Click Compose to generate commit drafts.
6. Review the grouped files, edit messages if needed, then commit individually or in batch.

Configuration

You can configure OpenGit Composer in VS Code settings or by using the extension UI.

Setting	Description	Default
commitComposer.aiProvider	AI provider to use	openai
commitComposer.apiKey	API key for the selected provider	""
commitComposer.model	Model to use, or leave empty for provider default	provider default
commitComposer.ollamaHost	Ollama server URL	http://localhost:11434
commitComposer.commitFormat	Commit style (conventional, angular, gitmoji, custom)	conventional
commitComposer.maxSubjectLength	Maximum commit subject length	72
commitComposer.splitThreshold	File count threshold for splitting commits	3
commitComposer.excludePatterns	Glob patterns excluded from AI input	[]
commitComposer.redactPatterns	Regex patterns redacted before sending diffs to AI	[]
commitComposer.debugMode	Enable detailed logging	false

Privacy

OpenGit Composer sends staged diffs only to the provider you choose.

• API keys stay local in VS Code settings.
• You can exclude files from compose input.
• You can redact sensitive text before any request is sent.
• Ollama can keep all analysis local on your machine.
