git-agent for Ruby

Conventional commits for Ruby and Rails projects

git-agent understands Rails MVC conventions, Active Record migrations, and Gemfile dependency changes, splitting your working-tree changes into clean atomic commits with conventional messages.

git-agent outputfeat(invoice): wrap generation in transaction and add tax calculation

- guard against invoicing incomplete orders with ArgumentError
- wrap Invoice.create! and order status update in a transaction for atomicity
- extract calculate_tax private method using current TaxRate record
- add issued_at and tax fields to the created invoice

Previously a failed order status update would leave an invoice without
marking the order as invoiced; the transaction ensures both records are
consistent or neither is written.

Why it works for Ruby

Recognises Rails MVC structure (models, controllers, views, services) for scope naming
Separates Active Record migration files into dedicated db commits
Groups Gemfile and Gemfile.lock changes into chore(deps) commits
Works with RSpec and Minitest test file conventions

install

brew install gitagenthq/brew/git-agent
# inside your Ruby project
git-agent init   # detects Rails app structure and suggests scopes

FAQ

Does git-agent handle Rails migration files separately from model changes?

Yes. Files in db/migrate/ are always treated as a separate commit with a db or chore scope, keeping migration history distinct from application logic.

Can git-agent work with non-Rails Ruby projects?

Yes. Sinatra, Hanami, pure Ruby gems, and scripts are all handled correctly. git-agent does not require Rails to be present.

How does git-agent handle Ruby metaprogramming patterns?

The LLM understands Ruby's define_method, method_missing, and module inclusion patterns. Metaprogramming changes are described at the intent level rather than the implementation level.
