David Snelling d2cef55644 feat(tools): add claude-commit AI-powered git commit tool
Implemented a comprehensive AI-powered commit message generator using Claude that:
- Automatically generates Conventional Commit formatted messages
- Analyzes git diff to create context-aware commit messages
- Works globally across all git repositories with 'git cc' command
- Supports multi-computer setup through portable dotfiles

Major changes:
- Added global claude-commit script with git aliases (git cc, git smart-commit)
- Created organized documentation in docs/tools/claude-commit/
- Included portable dotfiles structure for easy multi-machine deployment
- Updated README with TLDR Node.js quickstart section featuring all Brainy capabilities
- Moved documentation section to bottom of README for better flow
- Added CLAUDE.md with project-specific instructions for Claude Code

The tool eliminates manual commit message writing by leveraging AI to understand
code changes and generate properly formatted, meaningful commit messages that
follow the Conventional Commits specification.

# Dotfiles - Claude Commit Setup
This repository contains my development environment configuration, including the Claude AI-powered git commit message generator.
## Quick Setup
### Option 1: One-Line Install (Recommended)
```bash
curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/yourusername/dotfiles/main/install.sh | bash
```
### Option 2: Manual Install
```bash
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/dotfiles.git ~/dotfiles
# Run the setup script
cd ~/dotfiles
./install.sh
```
### Option 3: Just Claude Commit
If you only want the `git cc` command:
```bash
# Download and run the setup script
curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/yourusername/dotfiles/main/setup-claude-commit.sh | bash
```
## What's Included
### Claude Commit (`git cc`)
An AI-powered git commit message generator that:
- Analyzes your git diff
- Generates Conventional Commit formatted messages
- Works in any git repository
- No configuration needed
**Usage:**
```bash
# Make your changes
git cc # Claude generates the commit message
```
## Syncing Between Computers
### First Time Setup (on new computer)
1. Run the install script (see Quick Setup above)
2. That's it! The `git cc` command is now available
### Keeping in Sync
To update to the latest version on any computer:
```bash
sync-claude-commit
```
Or manually:
```bash
curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/yourusername/dotfiles/main/bin/claude-commit > ~/.local/bin/claude-commit
chmod +x ~/.local/bin/claude-commit
```
## File Structure
```
dotfiles/
├── README.md # This file
├── install.sh # Main installation script
├── setup-claude-commit.sh # Standalone claude-commit installer
└── bin/
└── claude-commit # The actual claude-commit script
```
## Requirements
- Git
- Claude CLI (`claude` command)
- Bash or Zsh
## Conventional Commit Format
The tool generates messages following this format:
```
<type>(<scope>): <description>
<body>
<footer>
```
**Types:** `feat`, `fix`, `docs`, `style`, `refactor`, `perf`, `test`, `build`, `ci`, `chore`
## Troubleshooting
### "claude: command not found"
Make sure Claude CLI is installed:
```bash
# Install Claude CLI if not present
# Visit: https://claude.ai/code
```
### "git cc: command not found"
Make sure ~/.local/bin is in your PATH:
```bash
echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc
```
