Configuration

commit-msg-ai stores its configuration in ~/.config/commit-msg-ai/config.json.

Set your default model

By default, commit-msg-ai uses llama3.2. To change it:

commit-msg-ai config model qwen2.5-coder

Set a custom Ollama URL

If Ollama runs on another machine or port:

commit-msg-ai config url http://192.168.1.50:11434

View your configuration

# See all settings
commit-msg-ai config

# See a single value
commit-msg-ai config model

Override per run

Flags override your saved config for a single execution:

# Use a different model just this once
commit-msg-ai --model mistral

# Use a different server
commit-msg-ai --url http://other-server:11434

Config file

The config is a simple JSON file:

{
  "model": "qwen2.5-coder",
  "url": "http://localhost:11434"
}

You can also edit it directly at ~/.config/commit-msg-ai/config.json.
