πŸš€ Git Quick β€” Lightning-Fast Git Workflows with AI-Powered Commit Messages

Stop wasting time writing repetitive Git commands β€” let AI do it while you code faster.

We all know the routine:

git add .
git commit -m "update"
git push

Now imagine replacing all of that with a single command:

gq

That’s Git Quick β€” a modern CLI tool that streamlines your Git workflow and generates meaningful, context-aware commit messages using AI.

⚑ What Is Git Quick?

Git Quick combines speed, simplicity, and intelligence. It merges your most common Git commands into one step β€” while helping you maintain clean, descriptive commit messages.

🧠 Key Features

  • Single Command Workflow: Run gq to stage, commit (with AI-generated message), and push.
  • AI-Powered Commits: Generates high-quality messages from code diffs using Ollama (local), OpenAI, or Anthropic.
  • Smart Fallback: Works instantly even without AI setup β€” commit logic is built-in.
  • Commit Visualization: gq story shows compact, colorized commit histories grouped by date or author.
  • Time Tracking: Tracks coding time per branch and generates reports.
  • Branch Sync: gq sync safely updates all local branches with conflict detection.
  • Cross-Platform: Install via pip (Python 3.8+) or npm.

πŸ’» Installation

Using pip

pip install git-quick

Using npm

npm install -g git-quick-cli

First run automatically guides you through AI setup β€” or you can skip it and use smart fallback mode.

πŸ”’ Privacy First

By default, Git Quick uses Ollama, a local AI model, so your code and diffs never leave your machine.
Prefer the cloud? You can switch to OpenAI or Anthropic anytime.
