- Generates Git-diff-based prompts for MCP-compatible clients.
- Provides commands like /git-diff, /generate-pr-desc, /git-cached-diff, /git-commit-messages, and /generate-commit-message.
- Offers equivalent MCP tools: git-diff, git-cached-diff, git-unstaged-diff, and git-commit-messages.
- Supports file exclusion patterns using pathlib.PurePath.
- Configurable output format: JSON (default) or text.
- Works as a Gemini CLI extension for easy installation and auto-updates.

From the repository
Prerequisites: Python 3.12+ and uv. For Zed Editor, add a configuration block to settings.json specifying the uvx command with arguments for repository path, excludes, and output format. For Gemini CLI, install the extension via gemini extension install https://github.com/ceshine/git-prompts-mcp-server.git --auto-update; commands and tools become available in Git repositories. The server relies on the current working directory being part of a Git repository. Environment variables GIT_REPOSITORY, GIT_EXCLUDES, and GIT_OUTPUT_FORMAT can be set for configuration.
/git-diff <ancestor_branch_or_commit>
Populate the diff results between HEAD and the specified ancestor branch or commit.
/generate-pr-desc <ancestor_branch_or_commit>
Generate a pull request description based on the diff results and commit history between HEAD and the specified ancestor branch or commit.
/git-cached-diff
Populate the diff results for the staged changes and HEAD.
/git-commit-messages <ancestor_branch_or_commit>
Get commit messages between the ancestor and HEAD.
/generate-commit-message [num_commits]
Generate commit message based on the diff between the files in the staging area (the index) and the HEAD. Additionally, it points out any potential issues in the changes at the end of the output. `num_commits` defaults to 5. Set to 0 to exclude commit history.
