For developers who code like ninjas but commit like toddlers

The Problem 😅

How many times have you:

• Written commit messages like "fix stuff" or "idk it works now"?
• Forgotten to run git add before committing?
• Rushed to get a new OpenAI API key because you accidentally committed it?
• Paid that shameful OpenAI bill after pushing your keys to GitHub?

No more! This tool is for developers who are amazing at coding but absolutely terrible at git.

What It Does 🎯

noob-commit automatically:

1. Adds all your files (git add .) - because you always forget
2. Smart filtering - protects you from committing:
   • 🔐 Security files (.env, credentials, secrets)
   • 📦 Dependency folders (node_modules, venv, target)
   • 🗑️ Build artifacts (pycache, .DS_Store, *.pyc)
3. Generates intelligent commit messages using AI - no more "update stuff"
4. Pushes to remote - because why not finish the job?
5. Loads API keys smartly - from environment or .env file

Installation 🚀

cargo install noob-commit

Or build from source:

git clone https://github.com/arthrod/noob-commit
cd noob-commit
cargo build --release

Setup ⚡

1. Get an OpenAI API key at https://platform.openai.com/api-keys
2. Set your environment variable:

   export OPENAI_API_KEY="your-key-here"
   

3. (Optional) Setup the nc alias for ultimate laziness:

   noob-commit --setup-alias
   

Usage 🎮

Basic usage (does everything for you):

noob-commit
# or if you set up the alias:
nc

Common options:

# See what it would commit without actually doing it
noob-commit --dry-run

# YOLO mode - no confirmations asked
noob-commit --force

# Include .env files (living dangerously)
noob-commit --ok-to-send-env

# Include dependency folders (WARNING: huge repo!)
noob-commit --yes-to-modules

# Include build artifacts (not recommended)
noob-commit --yes-to-crap

# Output the AI advice in Brazilian Portuguese
noob-commit -b

# Just commit, don't push
noob-commit --no-push

# Use a different AI model
noob-commit --model gpt-4.1-nano

# Let me edit the AI's commit message
noob-commit --review

# Limit the git diff size sent to AI (useful for huge diffs)
noob-commit --max-input-chars 10000

# Send full diff without any truncation
noob-commit --max-input-chars 0

# Update to the latest version
noob-commit --update

Examples 💡

The lazy developer's workflow:

# Write amazing code
vim src/main.rs

# Commit like a pro with zero effort
nc

The anxious developer's workflow:

# Check what would happen first
nc --dry-run

# Looks good, now do it for real
nc

The perfectionist's workflow:

# Let me review the AI's work
nc --review

Working on a messy project:

# You have node_modules, __pycache__, .env files everywhere
# noob-commit filters them all automatically!
nc

# Output:
# 🛡️  Protecting security file: .env
# 📦 Unstaged dependency folders: node_modules/
# 🗑️  Unstaged cache/build artifacts: __pycache__/
# ✅ Generated perfect commit message for your actual code changes

The "I know what I'm doing" workflow:

# Include EVERYTHING (use with caution!)
nc --ok-to-send-env --yes-to-modules --yes-to-crap

# Get advice in Portuguese (for BR devs)
nc -b

Configuration 🛠️

All the knobs you might want to turn:

What Gets Filtered? 🚫

Security Files (use --ok-to-send-env to include):

• .env, .env.local, .env.production, etc.
• .npmrc, .pypirc
• credentials, secrets.yml, secrets.yaml
• SSH keys: id_rsa, id_ed25519, etc.

Dependency Folders (use --yes-to-modules to include):

• node_modules/, venv/, .venv/, vendor/
• bower_components/, jspm_packages/
• target/ (Rust), Pods/ (iOS), .gradle/ (Android)
• build/, dist/ (various build systems)

Build Artifacts (use --yes-to-crap to include):

• __pycache__/, *.pyc, *.pyo
• .DS_Store, Thumbs.db, desktop.ini
• *.swp, *.swo, *.swn (editor files)
• *.log, *.tmp, *.cache, *.bak
• Compiled files: *.o, *.a, *.class, *.so, *.dll

Contributing 🤝

Found a bug? Want to add a feature? PRs welcome! Just remember:

• Keep the humor level high
• Keep the noob-friendliness higher
• Write tests (we're not complete noobs)

O Problema 😅

Quantas vezes você:

• Escreveu commits tipo "arrumei uns bagui" ou "sei lá, agora funciona"?
• Esqueceu de rodar git add antes do commit?
• Correu atrás de uma nova chave da OpenAI porque commitou ela sem querer?
• Pagou aquela conta vergonhosa da OpenAI depois de empurrar suas chaves pro GitHub?

Nunca mais! Esta ferramenta é para devs que são ninjas no código mas crianças no git.

O Que Faz 🎯

noob-commit automaticamente:

1. Adiciona todos os arquivos (git add .) - porque você sempre esquece
2. Filtragem inteligente - te protege de commitar:
   • 🔐 Arquivos de segurança (.env, credentials, secrets)
   • 📦 Pastas de dependências (node_modules, venv, target)
   • 🗑️ Artefatos de build (pycache, .DS_Store, *.pyc)
3. Gera mensagens de commit inteligentes usando IA - chega de "update bagui"
4. Faz push pro remoto - porque por que não terminar o serviço?
5. Carrega chaves de API - do ambiente ou arquivo .env

Instalação 🚀

cargo install noob-commit

Ou compile do código:

git clone https://github.com/arthrod/noob-commit
cd noob-commit
cargo build --release

Configuração ⚡

1. Pegue uma chave da OpenAI em https://platform.openai.com/api-keys
2. Configure sua variável de ambiente:

   export OPENAI_API_KEY="sua-chave-aqui"
   

3. (Opcional) Configure o alias nc para preguiça máxima:

   noob-commit --setup-alias
   

Uso 🎮

Uso básico (faz tudo pra você):

noob-commit
# ou se configurou o alias:
nc

Opções comuns:

# Ver o que commitaria sem fazer de verdade
noob-commit --dry-run

# Modo YOLO - sem confirmações
noob-commit --force

# Incluir arquivos .env (vivendo perigosamente)
noob-commit --ok-to-send-env

# Só commitar, não fazer push
noob-commit --no-push

# Usar um modelo de IA diferente
noob-commit --model gpt-4.1-nano

# Deixa eu editar a mensagem da IA
noob-commit --review

# Limitar o tamanho do diff enviado pra IA (útil para diffs gigantes)
noob-commit --max-input-chars 10000

# Enviar o diff completo sem truncar
noob-commit --max-input-chars 0

Recursos 🔥

• 🛡️ Filtragem inteligente de segurança - Protege .env, credentials, secrets, chaves SSH
• 📦 Filtragem de pastas de dependências - Mantém node_modules, venv, vendor fora
• 🗑️ Filtragem de artefatos de build - Sem mais pycache, .DS_Store, *.pyc
• ✂️ Limitação de tamanho de entrada - Trunca diffs gigantes para economizar na API
• ⚡ Fluxo de um comando só - Add, commit, push de uma vez
• 🔑 Carregamento flexível de API key - Do ambiente ou arquivo .env
• 🎭 Humor autodepreciativo - Porque todos somos noobs às vezes
• 🔧 Altamente configurável - Mas funciona bem direto da caixa
• 🚨 Erros amigáveis para noobs - Mensagens úteis quando dá ruim
• 🚀 Implementação async moderna - Rápida e eficiente

Acknowledgments 🙏

This project is built upon the excellent foundation of auto-commit by Miguel Piedrafita.

The original auto-commit was a brilliant tool for AI-powered commit messages. noob-commit extends it with:

• Auto-adding files (because we always forget git add)
• Smart .env file filtering (security first!)
• Auto-pushing (complete the workflow!)
• Self-deprecating humor (because coding is hard enough)
• Noob-friendly error messages (we've all been there)

Huge thanks to Miguel for creating the original tool and providing such a solid foundation! 🎉
