This is cool but I tried sending the same text with my general purpose GPT (text-davinci-003) command line tool and it did the same thing. This one is mine: https://github.com/runvc/askleo There are other ones of course.

#22Not sure what value it adds though. Isn’t it easier to type the cmds then to write all that? If there’s a good product in it I’m afraid your examples aren’t selling it :S Was first thinking it could have value for when you forget a cmd or when learning, but I think if you can come up with those technical instructions you can also remember the cmds …
Not sure what value it adds though. Isn’t it easier to type the cmds then to write all that? It's pretty obvious it's intended use cases include memory prompts for experienced users and translations from English requirements for inexperienced users. It's even in the OP: use natural language to get git to do what you want.
But when the prompt is:
> add .gitignore commit with msg adding ignore and push
That's not very compelling. The main selling point of AI is using simple inputs to achieve advanced outputs that match what the user wanted.
If I can say "Commit my .gitignore file," and then it runs
git add .gitignore
git commit -m "Adding .gitignore"
git push [y/N] y
Then that's one thing.
But this looks like you still have to specify the exact message you want, and be pretty deliberate about what it is you're after. At that point, why not just learn, and write, the commands yourself?

Looks like a typo; this should work:

What happens when you try to run the command you mentioned?

I agree the examples could be improved, I assumed they were rushed due to the "quick and dirty" note; I recommend the OP address that by writing clearer, simpler examples, eg they could look at popular questions (that don't express requirements using git commands) on StackOverflow for inspiration.

#26This is very cool. I feel like this should be an eventual good replacement for essentially all man/help pages.
Re: Show HN: Gitgpt – Natural Language Git
#27That looks cool, though I'd be very concerned about the possibility about ChatGPT "hallucinating" a `rm -rf /` or equivalent.

#28> Interfacing with git sucks
I disagree

Just run all the git commands by another GPT bot that determines whether it would be harmful first. GPT bots all the way down.
Re: Show HN: Gitgpt – Natural Language Git
#30I've been looking for something similar for AI git commit messages... basically feed ChatGPT a git diff and ask it what changed and to write a git message. I've done this directly in the ChatGPT UI with some small changes and it produces some great messages...
I would be very concerned to run this on company code or large diffs. But small simple commits, which should be the goal with commit messages anyways, would take away some of the tedium of the git flow.
