Example Commit Formats
Here are some examples of how to format your commits to get the labels:
# Basic format
feat: add new login functionality
fix: resolve authentication bug
docs: update API documentation
# With scope
feat(auth): implement OAuth2 login
fix(api): handle rate limiting errors
feat!(auth): implement breaking change in auth
refactor!(parser): rewrite parser logic (breaking change)
docs(readme): add installation guide
style(button): improve hover effects
refactor(service): clean up user service code
perf(db): optimize database queries
test(auth): add unit tests for auth service
The script will automatically detect the commit type from the first word of your commit message and add the appropriate label. Make sure to:
- Use one of the supported commit types or their aliases
- Follow the format:
type(scope): description or type: description
- Indicate breaking changes by adding
! after the type or scope: type!: or type(scope)!:.
- Keep the commit message clear and concise
- Use meaningful scopes that describe the area of the codebase being changed

Integration with nGPT
nGPT provides a powerful tool for automatically generating conventional commit messages that work seamlessly with GitHub Commit Labels.
Setup nGPT
- Install nGPT following the installation instructions.
- Configure nGPT with your preferred LLM provider (OpenAI, Ollama, Groq, Claude, Gemini, etc.).
Generate Conventional Commit Messages
Use nGPT to automatically generate well-formatted commit messages from your git diffs:
# Basic usage with staged changes
ngpt -g
# With recursive chunking for large changes
ngpt -g --rec-chunk
# Specify the commit type
ngpt -g --preprompt "type:feat"
# Provide scope and context
ngpt -g --preprompt "type:fix scope:authentication This fixes the broken login flow"
Example nGPT Generated Output
Here's an example of the commit message generated by nGPT:
feat(auth): implement OAuth2 authentication flow
- [feat] Create new AuthService class to handle token management
- [feat] Implement login/logout functionality in UserController
- [feat] Add configuration options for OAuth providers
- [Update] Update user model to store OAuth tokens
- [feat] Add unit tests for authentication flow
When this commit appears in GitHub, GitHub Commit Labels will automatically add a visually appealing "Feature" label next to the commit message.
Enforce Consistent Commit Messages
Add nGPT to your git workflow to ensure all commits follow the conventional format:
Git Hook Integration
Create a git hook in .git/hooks/prepare-commit-msg:
#!/bin/bash
# Skip if commit message is already provided
if [ -z "$(cat $1 | grep -v '^#')" ]; then
# Generate commit message with nGPT and write to commit message file
ngpt -g --no-stream | tee $1
fi
Make it executable:
chmod +x .git/hooks/prepare-commit-msg
Git Alias
Add a git alias in your .gitconfig:
[alias]
ai-commit = "!ngpt -g | git commit -F -"
Then use:
git add .
git ai-commit
