pi-commit-split

Interactive topic-based commit workflow for Pi.

The extension groups Git changes, asks the active LLM for concise Conventional Commit messages, and lets you choose which groups to commit from a TUI.

Features

• Adaptive topic grouping for any Git repository
• LLM-generated commit subject and short body
• Commit-message language follows recent commits and user context
• Conservative default selection: pre-existing and tooling changes start unchecked
• Shows each topic's changed files, file status, and added/deleted line counts
• Automatically condenses long file lists; press v to expand or collapse the current topic
• Explicit file staging; never uses git add .
• Separate commit or commit-and-push actions
• Refuses to start when the Git index already contains staged changes
• Optional natural-language instructions for commit message language and style
• Conventional Commit types: feat, fix, refactor, docs, test, chore, perf, build, and ci

TUI preview

The workflow opens a bordered terminal selector. Topics that look unrelated or pre-existing start unchecked, while current task changes are selected conservatively. File lists are expanded by default; lists longer than four files are condensed until expanded with v:

Commit messages are generated from the diff and adapt to the repository's existing language and the user's context. The interface remains in English.

The extension uses the active Pi model to generate commit messages. An optional instruction affects commit-message language and style only; it cannot run Git commands, change files, bypass validation, or trigger a push. Topic grouping remains based on the repository's file structure. Review every selected topic and message before committing or pushing.
