output example

git-agentfeat(auth): add refresh token rotation on silent renew

- generate a new refresh token on every silent renew to limit token reuse window
- invalidate the previous refresh token immediately after issuing the replacement
- store the new token in the same secure HttpOnly cookie

Long-lived refresh tokens were reusable indefinitely; rotation limits the
damage window to a single reuse attempt per token.

FAQ

Does aicommit2 split staged changes into multiple commits?

No. aicommit2 generates a single commit message for whatever is staged. git-agent's atomic split planning groups staged hunks into logically separate commits before writing any of them.

Do I need an API key to use git-agent?

No. git-agent ships with a free tier that includes built-in credentials. You can optionally point it at your own OpenAI, Gemini, or Claude endpoint via config.

Can git-agent replace aicommit2 with no workflow changes?

Yes. Run git-agent commit the same way you ran aicommit2. The main addition is atomic splitting, which triggers automatically when multiple logical changes are staged.
