Automatic work-in-progress commits with descriptive commit messages generated by GPT-3 Codex
Never again worry about the tension between "commit early, commit often" and
"every commit needs a commit message". All you need is an OpenAI API key, and
gwipt will track every single change in your working directory, on a parallel
wip/ branch.
Usage
Make sure the environment variable OPENAI_API_KEY is set to your personal
API key. Then, cd into the repository, and...
Boom! Every change you make in the working tree is now saved, with a
descriptive commit message. Say you're on branch A; then all your changes
(including untracked files) will be automatically committed to wip/A, and you
can explore them whenever you want.
You can see a few testing examples in the
wip/main branch of this
repository. Every commit there that starts with wip: was generated by GPT-3.
This is alpha-quality software, but I'm pleased enough with the results that
I'm already using it for my personal projects.
