Logging Configuration ​

GoCommit supports configurable request logging to help with debugging and analysis. By default, logging is disabled.

Configuration ​

Enable Logging ​

bash
gocommit --enable-logging

Disable Logging ​

bash
gocommit --disable-logging

Check Current Status ​

The logging configuration is stored in ~/.gocommit.json:

bash
cat ~/.gocommit.json

Example output:

json
{
  "api_key": "AIzaSyCUNHL0gmVWKUDGQpySBCw0GhnJr3rrklw",
  "logging_enabled": true
}

Log File Location ​

When logging is enabled, requests are logged to:

~/.gocommit/gocommit_requests.log

What Gets Logged ​

When logging is enabled, the following information is captured for each request:

Successful Requests ​

  • Timestamp
  • Git diff
  • Last commit message (for context)
  • Prompt sent to AI
  • AI response
  • Generated commit messages
  • Selected commit message

Failed Requests ​

  • Timestamp
  • Git diff
  • Last commit message (for context)
  • Prompt sent to AI
  • Error message

Privacy and Security ​

  • Logging is disabled by default to protect privacy
  • When disabled, no requests are logged to disk
  • Log files are stored locally on your machine only
  • Consider the sensitivity of your git diffs before enabling logging
  • You can delete log files manually if needed: rm ~/.gocommit/gocommit_requests.log

Usage Examples ​

  1. Enable logging for debugging:

    bash
    gocommit --enable-logging
# Use gocommit normally
# Check logs if needed

  2. Disable logging for privacy:

    bash
    gocommit --disable-logging
# Logging is now turned off

  3. Temporary logging session:

    bash
    gocommit --enable-logging
# Make some commits with logging
gocommit --disable-logging
# Back to no logging
