+1 Can you change the title of this topic from "Pycharm" to "JetBrains IDE"? |

I'd need to try again, but when I last looked it only mentioned changes within the current windows, not the whole changeset. |

It's worse than that, I made a single edit to an existing page, and its comment was appropriate for the introduction of the file which was changed but not appropriate at all for the change: - e.g. "Added a new form with validation for the creation of a new client" As opposed to: "Removed unnecessary using statement". Given the page has been in the system for months, the recommended comment was totally misleading (and you have to type a whole sentence, as opposed to the Rider (and I assume other JetBrains IDEs) having a simple button press in the commit dialog. |

As of my last update in January 2022, GitHub Copilot does not officially support PyCharm for generating commit messages. |

I saw in the official Copilot princing page that it has "Commit message generation" but clearly not for Rider/JetBrains IDE so... |

At least they didn't lie. It works in Visual Studio Code, though! Still nothing in Jetbrains IDE's (Using PhpStorm 2023.3.5) |

This is a feature that is absolutely needed. Jetbrains AI Assistant already supports it... I'm even thinking about trying it out and maybe switching to Jetbrains AI Assistant. |

Co-pilot is miles ahead AI Assistant for now, at least for JS/TS |

I miss some of the features of the AI Assistant, but when it went to a
costed option, I'd already renewed Co-Pilot for a year and couldn't justify
having both. Because I used the trial, I've no longer got the ability to
review whether the underlying AI Assistant suggestions have improved, so
unless the support PR suggestions via Co-Pilot, it'd be good if they could
incentivise switching and/or performing 7 days per year of re-evaluation.

In my case, for Odoo development, Copilot gives by far the best suggestions when coding, adding comments/docstrings and providing assistance through the chat. I have used "Jetbrain AI Assistant" and Tabnine, none of those can compare. I'm only using "Jetbrain AI" for commit auto-completion. As soon as Copilot gives this feature, I'm stopping paying for "Jetbrain AI". |

I have also tried the trifecta and come to the same conclusion. Copilot generates far better than either Tabnine or AI Assistant. The commit message generation is so useful. I feel like Copilot should be able to do this with relative ease if the project is being committed to Github. |

I use "Commit message generation" on copilot chat and make it suggestion well |

I have a trick to generate git commit messages using co-pilot
You can hit max token limit if changes are too much. I exclude new files from this to avoid this issue. Shortcut to write entire diff to clipboard on macos You can customise diff command and add to alias based on your needs. |

That's a lot of steps for something that VS Code does in one mouse click. |

yes, but I use Jetbrains Rider. It would really be nice a plugin could be created or Github Copilot add this feature itself. We need a proper feature as git diffs are often too large and I hit token limit often. |
Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.
-
|
I do exactly the same in Linux, Mac and Windows... i even got a list of commands, depending on which system I am to get the diffs and also to get the "cat" of the files that are new and aren't yet on diff. How ever, to say that the diffs are sometimes to big... the cut em, that is what probably you do by now |

This is how I currently handle it with CoPilot or sometimes with ChatGPT. I would assume it shouldn’t be too difficult to provide a button in the commit view of JetBrains IDEs to automate this process. Perhaps it would be a good idea if GitHub made the add-on for JetBrains IDEs open source so that the community could help implement such relatively simple features more quickly? Otherwise, our company will sooner or later switch to JetBrains AI. |

In fact, you can directly ask copilot chat to provide a commit based on the modified file. |

It only looks at the modified file, the JetBrains AI looks at all changes
in the commit set (or at least in all open windows) and it uses the diff to
comment on the changes made, not just looking at the whole file and
summarising its purpose.

JetBrains AI is really super. I took a trial. We can even customize the behavior by providing our custom instructions (prompt) to generate commit message. |

I installed VS Code then "code ." and use it to Copolit commits/PRs, but while this feature is nice to have in JetBrain IDEs. After using Copolit for awhile to do these messages the quality is pretty poor. You're not missing much except for obviously easy commits to write messages for. |

I would really appreciate the functionality to generate the commit message integrated into the commit window in Rider (and other JetBrains IDE's) just like in VS Code. Switching to VS Code just to generate the commit message or pasting the div into chat so you can generate a commit message in the chat seems rather cumbersome. In most cases It would be quicker to just write the message myself. |

I had that same comment on Twitter here. https://twitter.com/agulumans/status/1833513749942309040 My JetBrains AI Assistant subscription just finished, and I have to switch to VS-Code after solving a ticket on Rider just for a comprehensive commit message. |

I'd really like this feature too, for now I am using the workaround with the chat but it would be nice to have it integrated. |

Hello, GitHub Copilot currently has several features integrated into WebStorm. However, I believe the plugin is falling behind compared to other platforms, such as Copilot Edits and Commit Message Suggestions in VS Code. Additionally, other editors like Cursor are introducing innovative options like Fast Edits. WebStorm urgently needs updates, at least to make Commit Message Suggestions available. |

It's on purpose, JetBrains products are not their priority, and they're pushing for VSCode, I ended up using VS Code and letting go Pycharm. |

According to your reply, I'm using IDEA to code and VSCode(in the same path, the same project) to auto-fill the commit message, it works well and is not very complex |

Although I haven’t tried much, my first impression is that it’s of low quality: there is no adjustment for commit messages, and the commit messages are all in lowercase… |
