🔮 Git-Iris: Your Agentic Git Companion

✨ An intelligent agent that understands your code and crafts perfect Git artifacts ✨

📖 Documentation • Installation • Quick Start • Studio • GitHub Action • Contributing

💜 Overview

Git-Iris is powered by Iris, an intelligent agent that actively explores your codebase to understand what you're building. Rather than dumping context and hoping for the best, Iris uses tools to gather precisely the information she needs—analyzing diffs, exploring file relationships, and building understanding iteratively.

🪄 What Iris Can Do

Capability	Description
✍️ Commit Messages	Context-aware messages that capture the essence of your changes
🔬 Code Reviews	Multi-dimensional analysis covering security, performance, and best practices
📜 Pull Requests	Comprehensive PR descriptions for branches or individual commits
🗂️ Changelogs	Keep a Changelog format with intelligent categorization
🎊 Release Notes	User-focused documentation highlighting impact and benefits
🔭 Semantic Blame	Ask "why does this code exist?" and get real answers

🌌 Iris Studio

Studio is a stunning terminal interface built with the SilkCircuit Neon design language that brings everything together. Press / to chat with Iris, ask her to refine your commit message or explain changes—she can update content directly through intelligent tool calls!
