Lazygit Configuration + Raycast AI Commit Message Generator.md

This configuration enables you to generate high-quality, AI-powered commit messages directly from Lazygit, leveraging Raycast’s AI commands. It streamlines the process by copying your staged diff, prompting you for context, and opening Raycast to generate a commit message in your preferred language and style.

How It Works

1. Trigger the Command in Lazygit

   • In the Lazygit files view, press Ctrl+D (<c-d>).
   • This runs a custom command defined in your lazygit/config.yml.

2. Prompt Sequence

   • Explain the changes: You’re prompted to briefly describe what you changed.
   • Choose language: Select your preferred language for the commit message (English or Português).
   • Choose convention: Select the commit message style (standard git-commit or git-conventional-commit).

3. Copy Diff to Clipboard

   • The command copies the current staged diff (git diff --cached -U4) to your clipboard using pbcopy.

4. Open Raycast AI Command

   • Lazygit opens a Raycast AI Command via a Deeplink, passing your summary, branch name, and language as arguments.
   • Raycast receives the clipboard diff and your inputs, then generates a commit message using AI.

What Each Step Does

• git diff --cached -U4 | pbcopy: Copies the staged changes (with context) to your clipboard.
• Prompts: Collects your summary, language, and commit style.
• Raycast Deeplink: Opens a Raycast AI Command, passing your inputs as arguments. Raycast then uses the clipboard diff and your context to generate a commit message.

Requirements

• Lazygit: With custom commands enabled.
• Raycast: With the relevant AI Command set up to accept arguments and generate commit messages.
• macOS: Uses pbcopy and open commands.

Benefits

• Fast: No need to leave Lazygit or manually write commit messages.
• Consistent: Enforces your preferred commit style and language.
• AI-powered: Leverages Raycast’s AI to summarize your changes accurately.
