git-agent for Rust

Precise conventional commits for Rust crates and workspaces

git-agent understands Cargo workspace layouts and Rust's ownership patterns, discovering your working-tree changes and splitting them into clean atomic commits with conventional messages that match the Rust community's standards.

git-agent outputfeat(error): add Io and Parse variants to Error enum

- add Error::Io(io::Error) variant with From<io::Error> impl for ? operator use
- add Error::Parse with structured input/reason fields for diagnostic context
- implement Display for both new variants

Callers that perform file I/O can now propagate errors with ? instead
of manually wrapping; the Parse variant carries enough context for
user-facing error messages without a separate error type.

Why it works for Rust

Understands Cargo workspace members and suggests per-crate scopes
Separates Cargo.lock updates into chore commits automatically
Distinguishes trait definition changes from trait implementation changes
Handles macro-heavy code diffs without losing context

install

brew install gitagenthq/brew/git-agent
# inside your Rust project
git-agent init   # reads Cargo.toml workspace members to suggest scopes

FAQ

Does git-agent handle Rust macro expansions in diffs?

git-agent works on the source diff, not the expanded output. Proc-macro and derive attribute changes are treated as normal source changes.

Will unsafe blocks affect how git-agent categorises commits?

git-agent detects unsafe block additions and will note them in the commit body, but the commit type is still determined by the overall change intent (feat, fix, refactor, etc.).

Can I use git-agent on a Rust project without a Cargo workspace?

Yes. Single-crate projects work out of the box. git-agent infers scopes from your src/ directory structure when no workspace is present.
