🌟 Why git-air?

The Pain Point: AI Writes Code Fast, But Reviewing It Is a Nightmare

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 3.x, Anthropic Claude, xAI Grok, DeepSeek, Qwen, Zhipu GLM, Moonshot Kimi, Local Ollama, OpenAI, and any OpenAI-compatible 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.
• 📊 Real-time Token & Cost Estimation: Accurately tracks prompt/completion token consumption with built-in official pricing rates (local offline models automatically marked free).
• ✨ AI Commit Message Generator: Automatically generates clean, standardized Conventional Commits messages with multi-language support (English, Japanese, Korean, Chinese).
• 📋 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.

$ git air

[git-air] Reviewing code... (Engine: gemini / gemini-3.7-flash)
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
#### Change Summary
Added Redis caching layer to user authentication and refined context propagation.

#### Detailed Findings
- [BLOCKER] internal/service/user.go:45 - Critical Vulnerability: Direct SQL string concatenation inside loop. Potential SQL injection.
  // Suggested Fix:
  db.Where("username = ?", inputName).First(&user)

- [WARNING] internal/service/user.go:82 - Potential Risk: Silently discarding Redis error. May lead to cache stampede.

- [WARNING] internal/service/user.go:103 - Concurrency Issue: Mutex unlock skipped on early return branch. High risk of deadlock.

#### Verdict
- Status: [REJECT]
- Score: 60 / 100

📊 Token: Input 1,243 / Output 412 | ≈ $0.0025

🚀 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

# 13. Custom Token Pricing (Optional: override default rates, USD/1M tokens)
git air config set --price-input 0.75 --price-output 3.75

Check current configuration (including masked keys and custom rates):

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. AI-Powered Commit Message Generation (git air msg)

Struggling to write concise commit messages? git-air inspects your staged changes and crafts a clean Conventional Commits message with automatic language detection:

# 1. Generate based on your system locale & interactively commit
git air msg

# 2. Explicitly specify target language (e.g. English, Japanese, Korean)
git air msg -l en
git air msg -l ja
git air msg -l ko

# 3. Generate and directly commit without confirmation
git air msg -c

---

4. One-Click Git Pre-commit Hook

Install the hook inside any Git repository:

git air hook install

• Automated Commit Gate: When git-air flags any [BLOCKER] issue or outputs a [REJECT] verdict, it automatically exits with a non-zero status code, directly intercepting and blocking git commit!
• Strict Mode (--strict): To block commits even on [WARNING] issues, use git air --strict;
• Bypass Interception: If you urgently need to bypass the check, use standard Git git commit --no-verify or pass git air --no-block.

To uninstall:

git air hook uninstall

---

5. Version Check & One-Click Upgrade (git air update)

git-air comes with lightweight 24-hour background update detection and alerts you in the terminal whenever a new release is available. You can also manually check or upgrade anytime:

# Check current version and check for updates
git air version

# One-click upgrade to the latest release
git air update

---

⚙️ Configuration Hierarchy

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

1. CLI Flags (--key, --model, --provider, --prompt, --lang, --price-input, --price-output, --strict, --no-block)
2. Environment Variables (GIT_AIR_API_KEY, GIT_AIR_PROVIDER, GIT_AIR_MODEL, GIT_AIR_COMMIT_LANG)
3. Project Config (./config.yaml or ./.git-air.yaml in repo root)
4. Global User Config (~/.git-air/config.yaml)

config.yaml Example Template:

# Provider: gemini, claude, grok, deepseek, qwen, zhipu, moonshot, siliconflow, ollama, openai, custom
provider: "gemini"
api_key: "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"
model: "gemini-3.7-flash"

# Custom Base URL (Optional)
# base_url: "https://api.deepseek.com/v1"

# Custom System Prompt (Optional)
# custom_prompt: ""

# Custom Token Pricing (Optional, in USD per 1M tokens)
# price_input: 0.75
# price_output: 3.75

# AI Commit Message Language (Optional: auto, zh, en, ja, ko)
# commit_lang: "auto"

---

📋 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).

---

🛡️ Custom Ignore Rules (.airignore)

In addition to built-in ignored lockfiles and binaries, create an .airignore file in your repository root to exclude specific paths from AI review:

# Ignore documentation & design specs
docs/
*.md

# Ignore test mocks and fixtures
tests/mock/
testdata/

# Ignore sensitive config files
*.env
secrets.yaml
