Simplify Your Git Workflow: Introducing Git-ChatGPT, a Command Line Tool
If you're new to Git or unfamiliar with Git command lines, you may find it difficult to carry out your desired actions in Git. Git-ChatGPT is here to simplify the Git workflow, allowing users to communicate with Git in plain language.
What is Git-ChatGPT?
Git-ChatGPT is a C# .NET 7 console application that enables users to interact with Git using natural language. It utilizes ChatGPT, an AI chatbot technology developed by OpenAI, to interpret users' natural language input and translate it into Git command line format. Once the command line is generated, Git-ChatGPT executes it, allowing users to carry out their desired action in Git.
How to Use Git-ChatGPT
To use Git-ChatGPT, you'll need to create a new secret key from the OpenAI API key and store it. The program loads the Open-AI APIKey from an appsettings.json and enters a loop that continually prompts the user for input. Using the GPT-3 API, the program generates a Git command line based on the user's input. The program then requests confirmation from the user on whether to execute the command or not.
Example Conversation:
User Input: "Can you create a new branch for me?"
Git-ChatGPT Output: "git branch new_branch"
User Input: "Yes, please execute the command."
Git-ChatGPT Output: "Switched to a new branch 'new_branch'"
One conversation can accommodate multiple Git commands with ease.
Activating Git-ChatGPT
In order to activate the command line tool Git-ChatGPT with Git Bash, you'll need to add Git-ChatGPT.exe and the appsettings.json in C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin (Release v1.0.0).
Conclusion
Git-ChatGPT is a trial program and may not always produce the accurate Git command line or may require further input from the user to ensure the correct command is carried out. However, it is a promising tool for simplifying the Git workflow and making it more accessible to those new to Git or unfamiliar with Git command lines.
