GIMS

Git Made Simple

🚀 Installation

npm install -g gims

This installs the gims command and a shortcut alias:

g  # shortcut for gims

🔧 Environment Setup (Optional for AI)

To enable AI-generated commit messages:

✅ Option 1: Gemini API

export GEMINI_API_KEY='your_gemini_api_key'

✅ Option 2: OpenAI API (used if Gemini key not found)

export OPENAI_API_KEY='your_openai_api_key'

If neither is set, it defaults to a generic commit message.
