**DevGen** is an AI-powered developer toolkit that automates common Git and project management tasks. Generate semantic commit messages, changelogs, release notes, `.gitignore` files, and licenses—all from a single unified CLI.
## ✨ Features
- 🚀 **AI-Powered Commit Messages** - Automatically generate semantic commit messages from your staged changes using AI
- 📝 **Changelog Generation** - Create changelogs from git history using conventional commits
- 🚀 **Release Notes** - Generate clean, emoji-enhanced release notes for your releases
- 🙈 **Gitignore Templates** - Generate `.gitignore` files from GitHub's official templates
- 📄 **License Generation** - Quickly generate open source licenses with interactive setup
- ⚙️ **Multi-Provider AI Support** - Works with Gemini, OpenAI, Anthropic, HuggingFace, and OpenRouter
## 📦 Installation
```bash
# Stable release from PyPI
pip install devgen-cli
# Using pipx (recommended for isolated CLI)
pipx install devgen-cli
# Using uv (fast Python package manager)
uv tool install devgen-cli
```
## 🚀 Quick Start
### 1. Initial Setup
Configure your AI provider and API key:
```bash
devgen setup config
```
This will create a configuration file at `~/.devgen.yaml` with your preferred AI provider, model, and API key.
### 2. Generate Commit Messages
Stage your changes and let DevGen generate semantic commit messages:
```bash
# Dry run to preview commit messages
devgen commit run --dry-run
# Actually commit with AI-generated messages
devgen commit run
# Commit and automatically push
devgen commit run --push
# Force regeneration of commit messages
devgen commit run --force-rebuild
```
**How it works:**
- DevGen detects all staged and unstaged changes
- Groups files by directory
- Generates semantic commit messages for each group using AI
- Follows [Conventional Commits](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/) format
**Additional commit commands:**
```bash
# View cached commit messages
devgen commit list-cached
# Clear the commit cache
devgen commit clear-cache
# Check what files are staged
devgen commit validate
```
### 3. Generate Changelogs
Create changelogs from your git history:
```bash
# Generate changelog from last tag to HEAD
devgen changelog generate
# Generate from a specific reference
devgen changelog generate --from v1.0.0
# Output to a custom file
devgen changelog generate --output CHANGES.md
```
The changelog follows Semantic Release conventions, categorizing commits into:
- **BREAKING CHANGES**
- **Features**
- **Bug Fixes**
- **Documentation**
- **Other Changes**
### 4. Generate Release Notes
Create release notes for your releases:
```bash
# Generate release notes
devgen release notes --version 1.4.0
# Custom output file
devgen release notes --version 1.4.0 --output RELEASE.md
# From a specific reference
devgen release notes --version 1.4.0 --from v1.3.0
```
### 5. Generate .gitignore Files
Create `.gitignore` files from GitHub templates:
```bash
# Interactive mode (search and select templates)
devgen gitignore generate
# Specify templates directly
devgen gitignore generate Python Node Docker
# List available templates
devgen gitignore list
# Use cached templates (offline mode)
devgen gitignore generate --offline Python
```
**Options:**
- `--append` / `--overwrite` - Append to or overwrite existing `.gitignore`
- `--output` - Specify output file path (default: `.gitignore`)
- `--offline` - Use only cached templates
### 6. Generate Licenses
Generate open source licenses interactively:
```bash
devgen license generate
```
This will:
1. Show available licenses (MIT, Apache-2.0, GPL-3.0, etc.)
2. Prompt for author name
3. Prompt for year (defaults to current year)
4. Generate the license file
**Available licenses:**
- MIT
- Apache-2.0
- GPL-2.0, GPL-3.0
- LGPL-2.1
- AGPL-3.0
- BSD-2-Clause, BSD-3-Clause
- MPL-2.0
- EPL-2.0
- BSL-1.0
- CC0-1.0
- Unlicense
## ⚙️ Configuration
Configuration is stored in `~/.devgen.yaml`. You can edit it manually or use the interactive setup:
```bash
devgen setup config
```
**Configuration options:**
- `provider` - AI provider: `gemini`, `openai`, `anthropic`, `huggingface`, or `openrouter`
- `model` - Model name (e.g., `gemini-2.5-flash`, `gpt-4`, `claude-3-opus`)
- `api_key` - Your API key
- `emoji` - Enable/disable emojis in commit messages (default: `true`)
