Installation

Getting lazycommit up and running takes less than a minute. Let's walk through it.

Prerequisites

  • Node.js (v18 or higher)
  • Git installed and configured
  • A Groq API key from Groq Console

Quick Install

Install lazycommit globally using your package manager of choice.

npm

npm install -g lazycommitt

That's it! You can now use lazycommit (or the lzc alias) from anywhere in your terminal.

API Key Setup

lazycommit needs a Groq API key to generate commit messages. Set the key so lazycommit can use it:

lazycommit config set GROQ_API_KEY=<your token>

This will create a .lazycommit file in your home directory.

Note: If you haven't already, you'll need to create an account at Groq Console and get your API key.

Verify Installation

Check that lazycommit is installed correctly:

lazycommit --version

You should see the current version number. If you do, you're all set!

Upgrading

Check the installed version with:

lazycommit --version

If it's not the latest version, run:

npm update -g lazycommitt

Or if you installed via Homebrew:

brew upgrade lazycommit
