π Automate your Git workflow with AI-powered commit messages! Stop writing repetitive commit messages manually - let Ollama and Mistral AI do the heavy lifting while you focus on coding.
Transform your Git workflow from this:
git add .
git commit -m "fix stuff" # π© Vague and unhelpful
git push
To this:
cm # β¨ One command does it all with AI-generated commit messages!
Result:
[JIRA-1234] refactor: optimize database query performance and add caching layer
- π€ AI-Generated Commit Messages: Uses Ollama + Mistral to analyze your
git diff
and create meaningful commit messages - π« Automatic Jira Integration: Extracts ticket numbers from branch names (e.g.,
PROJ-1234-feature-branch
) - π Smart Authentication: Handles SSH passphrases and GPG signing automatically
- π Intelligent Push/Pull: Automatically pulls latest changes if push fails, then retries
- β‘ One-Command Workflow: Stage β Commit β Push with a single
cm
command - π‘οΈ Error Recovery: Built-in retry logic for common Git conflicts
- π Conventional Commits: Follows best practices for commit message formatting

Ensure you have these installed:
# Check if you have the requirements
git --version # Git (any recent version)
ollama --version # Ollama AI runtime
ollama list | grep mistral # Mistral model
# Clone, install, and configure in one go
curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wesleyscholl/git-commit-push-script/main/install.sh | bash
π Manual Installation Steps
# 1. Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/wesleyscholl/git-commit-push-script.git
cd git-commit-push-script
# 2. Make script executable
chmod +x git-commit-push-script.sh
# 3. Add alias to your shell profile
echo "alias cm='bash $(pwd)/git-commit-push-script.sh'" >> ~/.zshrc
# OR for bash users:
echo "alias cm='bash $(pwd)/git-commit-push-script.sh'" >> ~/.bash_profile
# 4. Install Ollama (if not already installed)
curl -fsSL https://ollama.ai/install.sh | sh
# OR with Homebrew:
brew install ollama
# 5. Download Mistral model
ollama pull mistral
# 6. Reload your shell
source ~/.zshrc # or source ~/.bash_profile
# Navigate to any Git repository
cd your-project
# Use the magic command
cm
# That's it! π
Create a .env
file or add to your shell profile:
# Optional: SSH passphrase automation
export GIT_SSH_PASSPHRASE="your-ssh-passphrase"
# Optional: Custom AI model
export OLLAMA_MODEL="mistral" # or "codellama", "llama2", etc.
# Optional: Custom commit message style
export COMMIT_STYLE="conventional" # or "angular", "atom"
The script works best with these branch naming patterns:
β
Good:
JIRA-1234-add-user-authentication
PROJ-5678-fix-database-connection
TICKET-9999-refactor-api-endpoints
β Avoid:
feature-branch
my-changes
fix
To enable commit signing:
# Configure Git with your GPG key
git config --global user.signingkey YOUR_GPG_KEY_ID
git config --global commit.gpgsign true
# The script will automatically use the -S flag
Edit the script to use your preferred templates:
# In git-commit-push-script.sh, modify the Ollama prompt:
PROMPT="Generate a commit message using conventional commits format:
type(scope): description
Based on this git diff: $DIFF
Make it concise but descriptive, max 50 characters for title."
# Use different Ollama models
ollama pull codellama
export OLLAMA_MODEL="codellama"
# Or try other models
ollama pull llama2
ollama pull dolphin-phi
β "ollama: command not found"
Solution:
# Install Ollama
curl -fsSL https://ollama.ai/install.sh | sh
# OR
brew install ollama
# Start Ollama service
ollama serve
β GPG signing fails
Solution:
# Option 1: Disable GPG signing
git config --global commit.gpgsign false
# Option 2: Set up GPG properly
gpg --full-generate-key
git config --global user.signingkey YOUR_KEY_ID
β SSH passphrase prompts every time
Solution:
# Add your SSH key to the agent
ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa
# Or set environment variable
export GIT_SSH_PASSPHRASE="your-passphrase"
β "Permission denied" on script execution
Solution:
chmod +x git-commit-push-script.sh
# Perfect for CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure changes
cd infrastructure-repo
