git-agent for Swift

Conventional commits for Swift and SwiftUI projects

git-agent understands Swift Package Manager layouts, SwiftUI view hierarchies, and actor concurrency patterns, producing conventional commits that reflect iOS and macOS development conventions.

git-agent outputrefactor(services): migrate ImageLoader to async/await and MainActor isolation

- annotate with @MainActor to eliminate manual DispatchQueue.main.async dispatch
- convert load(url:) to async throws using URLSession's async data(from:) method
- add isLoading published property with defer-based cleanup
- replace print with OSLog Logger for structured logging

The DispatchQueue approach was not safe under strict concurrency checking;
@MainActor annotation satisfies the compiler and makes the isolation
intent explicit.

Why it works for Swift

Understands Swift Package Manager target structure for accurate scope detection
Recognises SwiftUI View body changes versus ViewModel changes
Handles actor, async/await, and structured concurrency diffs correctly
Groups Xcode project file (.xcodeproj) changes into chore commits

install

brew install gitagenthq/brew/git-agent
# inside your Swift project
git-agent init   # reads Package.swift targets to suggest scopes

FAQ

Does git-agent handle Xcode project file changes?

Yes. .xcodeproj and .xcworkspace changes are detected and committed separately as chore commits to keep them out of feature history.

Can git-agent work with Swift on Linux?

git-agent itself runs on macOS and Linux. For Swift on Linux (server-side Swift), it works identically as it reads diffs without needing the Swift toolchain installed.

How does git-agent handle SwiftUI previews?

#Preview and PreviewProvider blocks are recognised as non-production code. Changes to preview code alone are grouped into a docs or test commit rather than a feat commit.
