# **Use AI to Draft Commit Messages with Aicommit**
Aicommit integrates with RayAI to generate a draft commit message, which is then loaded into your default editor for review and editing.
## **Prerequisites**
To use Aicommit, you need to have the following tools installed:
- `curl`
- `jq`
**Note**: Aicommit-groq is currently broken and should not be used.
## **Setup and Usage**
1. **Clone the repository**: Clone the Aicommit repository to your local machine.
2. **Configure your Git editor**: Add the following line to your `~/.bashrc` file, replacing `<path/to/>` with the actual path to the Aicommit executable:
```bash
export GIT_EDITOR="<path/to/>aicommit"
```
3. **Use Git as normal**: Once configured, you can use Git as you normally would. When you run `git commit`, Aicommit will generate a draft commit message using RayAI, which will then be loaded into your default editor for review and editing.
**Bypassing AI-generated messages**: If you prefer to write your own commit message, you can use the `-m` flag with `git commit`, like this: `git commit -m "your message here"`. This will bypass the AI-generated message and allow you to write your own message directly.
