appleboy-codegpt is a Claude Code plugin that wires the CodeGPT CLI to draft git commit messages and review briefs from staged changes using GPT models.
About
appleboy-codegpt packages the CodeGPT Go CLI as a Claude Code plugin for developers who want cleaner git history without spending minutes on every commit message. After install, it can hook into prepare-commit-msg so staged diffs are summarized into conventional, descriptive commits using OpenAI-compatible models such as gpt-4.1 and gpt-4o. The same tooling can produce a terse code review brief so you sanity-check a changeset before opening a PR. You need API credentials and a local git repo; it does not replace human review on security-sensitive changes. Best for repos and small teams that commit often and want consistent narrative in git log without a separate SaaS commit bot.
- Go-based CodeGPT CLI analyzes staged changes and writes commit messages with ChatGPT (gpt-4.1, gpt-4o)
- Installs a git prepare-commit-msg hook for hands-off message generation on commit
- Optional code review brief flow for summarizing what changed before you push
- Focused git workflow plugin (pluginCount: 1) from appleboy/CodeGPT
- Works as a local CLI—you control when the hook runs and which model backs the text
