Generate commit messages

AI Assistant can send your diffs to the LLM (Large Language Model), which will generate a commit message describing your changes.

Press Alt+0 to open the Commit tool window.
Click Generate Commit Message with AI Assistant.
Edit the message if necessary.

Customize the commit message generation prompt

Press Ctrl+Alt+S to open settings and then select Tools | AI Assistant | Prompt Library.
In the Built-In Actions section, select Commit Message Generation.
In the editor field on the right, specify the rules for commit message generation, like the required number of characters or a different language.
Click Apply.

Edit and improve commit messages

When you have already committed your changes, you can still edit your commit message. Use AI Assistant to help you analyze and better describe the committed changes.

Click in the bottom-left corner or press Alt+9 to open the version control tool window.
In the commits pane, right-click the commit you want to update and select Edit Commit Message in the context menu.
In the dialog that opens, click Improve Commit Message with AI Assistant.
AI Assistant analyzes the committed changes and generates an improved message.
Edit the new message if necessary and click OK to save the changes.
If the commit has already been pushed to the remote repository, press Ctrl+Shift+K to push the updated commit message as well.

Explain commits

AI Assistant can summarize the changes made in one or several commits.

Click in the bottom-left corner or press Alt+9 to open the version control tool window.
In the commits pane, select the commit or several commits you want to summarize, right-click them and select Explain Commit with AI Assistant in the context menu.
AI Assistant provides the summary of the selected commits.

Generate title and description for pull and merge requests

AI Assistant can generate titles and descriptions for pull requests and merge requests directly from GoLand.

When creating a new pull request or a merge request in the corresponding tool window, click Generate a Title and Description with AI Assistant in the description field.

Resolve Git conflicts with AI

When multiple contributors are working with the same part of the codebase, you may encounter overlapping changes that cannot be merged automatically.

GoLand has a tool to resolve any such conflicts, and AI Assistant can help you by automatically merging conflicting changes.

In the Merge Revisions dialog, click Merge with AI.
AI Assistant then merges both non-conflicting and conflicting changes.
Review the merged result in the central pane of the dialog, edit if necessary, and click Apply.
Revert changes in the modified lines by clicking Revert.

For more information about merging conflicting changes, refer to Resolve Git conflicts.
