Most developers today rely heavily on AI coding assistants (Cursor, Copilot, and LLM extensions). Generating hundreds of lines of code in seconds feels incredible.

However, this introduces a critical new problem:

The "Looks Perfect" Illusion: AI-generated code features neat indentation, convincing naming, and flawless syntax, making it dangerously easy to trust blindly;
The Confirmation Bias of Generating Models: In the same conversation thread, asking the very same AI "Are there any bugs here?" almost always yields a self-flattering response: "The logic is completely solid and robust!";
Subtle Traps Missed by Human Eyes: Overlooked unlocked mutexes on early return paths, missing recover() inside goroutines, unreleased database connections in loops... These critical traps easily slip past quick manual skimming.

This creates an absurd cycle: AI mass-produces code, while human engineers spend late nights fixing production crashes.

The Solution: Shift Code Review Directly to Your Local Terminal (Pre-Commit)

While there are great cloud/CI-based PR review bots, git-air is designed to be your independent, cold-blooded "third-party auditor" right inside your local terminal before you ever type git commit.

Completely isolated from your chat history, it acts like a grumpy but sharp senior architect sitting beside your desk, ruthlessly inspecting only raw code changes (git diff):

⚡ Git-Native Simplicity: No workflow changes needed. Just run git air in your terminal for instant feedback.
🧠 Universal Multi-Model Support: Pre-configured support for Google Gemini, Anthropic Claude, xAI Grok, DeepSeek, Local Ollama, OpenAI, and any OpenAI-compatible custom endpoint.
🛡️ Smart Noise Reduction: Automatically strips out go.sum, package-lock.json, *.pb.go, and lockfiles to save tokens and eliminate review loops.
🎯 Strict Senior Architect Persona: Zero corporate fluff. Directly flags concurrency deadlocks, SQL injections, nil dereferences, and resource leaks with copy-paste code patches.
📋 Team Rules Support (.airules): Drop an .airules file in your repo root, and the AI will prioritize your team-specific guidelines.
🪝 One-Click Pre-commit Hook: Mounts as a local Git hook in one command to block dangerous bugs before code is committed.

📦 Installation

Option 1: Via Go Install (Recommended)

go install github.com/unclesam-ly/git-air@latest

Option 2: Build from Source

git clone https://github.com/unclesam-ly/git-air.git
cd git-air
go build -o git-air .
sudo mv git-air /usr/local/bin/

🚀 Quick Start

1. Configure Model & API Key

git-air comes with pre-configured endpoints and default models for all major AI providers. Simply pass --provider:

# 1. Google Gemini (Recommended: fast & cost-effective)
git air config set --provider gemini --key "YOUR_KEY"

# 2. Anthropic Claude (Claude-3.7 / 3.5 Sonnet)
git air config set --provider claude --key "YOUR_KEY" --model anthropic/claude-3.7-sonnet

# 3. xAI Grok (Grok-2 / Grok-3)
git air config set --provider grok --key "YOUR_KEY" --model grok-2-latest

# 4. DeepSeek (Deep reasoning)
git air config set --provider deepseek --key "YOUR_KEY" --model deepseek-chat

# 5. SiliconFlow (DeepSeek-V3 hosted)
git air config set --provider siliconflow --key "YOUR_KEY" --model deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3

# 6. Qwen / DashScope (Alibaba Cloud)
git air config set --provider qwen --key "YOUR_KEY" --model qwen-plus

# 7. Zhipu AI (GLM-4)
git air config set --provider zhipu --key "YOUR_KEY" --model glm-4-plus

# 8. Moonshot AI (Kimi)
git air config set --provider moonshot --key "YOUR_KEY"

# 9. Groq (Ultra-fast inference)
git air config set --provider groq --key "YOUR_KEY" --model llama-3.3-70b-versatile

# 10. OpenRouter (Universal AI Gateway)
git air config set --provider openrouter --key "YOUR_KEY"

# 11. 100% Offline Local Privacy (Ollama)
git air config set --provider ollama --model qwen2.5-coder

# 12. OpenAI Official (GPT-4o / o3-mini)
git air config set --provider openai --key "YOUR_KEY" --model gpt-4o-mini

Check current configuration:

git air config get

2. Everyday Commands

# Review currently staged changes (default)
git air

# Review the previous commit
git air HEAD~1

# Review differences between branches
git air main..feature-agent

# Review a specific file
git air internal/service/chat.go

# Temporarily override provider or model
git air --provider deepseek --model deepseek-chat

3. One-Click Git Pre-commit Hook

Install the hook inside any Git repository:

git air hook install

From now on, whenever you run git commit, git-air will automatically perform a code review in your terminal and warn you of any blocker issues!

To uninstall:

git air hook uninstall

⚙️ Configuration Hierarchy

git-air searches for configurations in the following priority order:

CLI Flags (--key, --model, --provider, --prompt)
Environment Variables (GIT_AIR_API_KEY, GIT_AIR_PROVIDER, GIT_AIR_MODEL)
Project Config (./config.yaml or ./.git-air.yaml in repo root)
Global User Config (~/.git-air/config.yaml)

📋 Custom Team Rules (`.airules`)

Create an .airules file in your repository root. git-air will automatically inject these rules into the model with highest priority:

# Team Coding Guidelines
1. All SQL operations must reside in the DAO/repository layer. No raw SQL string concatenation;
2. Concurrent shared variable access must use sync.RWMutex or sync/atomic;
3. Opened resource handles (DB rows, HTTP resp.Body, files) must be immediately closed via defer;
4. Never discard errors with blank identifiers (_ = err).
