Extra features

Specify GPT model

To select a specific GPT model, utilize the gpt_model parameter. For example:

git-assistant generate-readme --gpt_model=gpt-4-0613

Push .gitassistant to simplify chatbot access for your repository visitors

When you initialise Git Assistant on one of your projects, a .gitassistant folder is automatically created at the root of your repository. This folder contains the metadata required for the tool to function. By pushing the .gitassistant folder to your remote repository, you enable your visitors to access the ChatBot more conveniently, without the need to reinitialize git-assistant.

You can also indicate in your README.md file that a chatbot is easily accessible by executing the commands:

pip install git-assistant

Then:

git-assistant chatbot --repo_url=<YOUR_REPO_URL>
