    GitHub Features

⚑ Installation

# Clone and install
git clone https://github.com/AccursedGalaxy/noidea.git
cd noidea
./install.sh  # Builds binary, sets up ~/.noidea/config (AI disabled by default)

Repository Setup

After installation, initialize NoIdea in your Git repository:

# Navigate to your repository
cd /path/to/your/repo

# Initialize NoIdea (installs hooks for suggestions on commit, Moai faces after)
noidea init

What happens after init:

  • Suggestions: Always on after initβ€”tries local first (fast, no API), uses AI if enabled
  • Moai Faces: Always show after commits instantly (no AI calls, keeps workflow fast)
  • AI Feedback: Manual onlyβ€”run noidea moai --ai when you want detailed feedback

Pro Tip

Use noidea config --init to set up your configuration interactively!

πŸ”’ Security & Privacy

NoIdea takes your security seriously:

  • No data is sent to our servers - all AI processing happens via your own API keys
  • Your commit history and code never leaves your system without your explicit permission
  • Legacy .env files are being deprecated in favor of secure storage

Note

When using AI features, your code diffs are sent to the AI provider you've configured. Choose a provider you trust.

πŸ€” Why NoIdea?

Because Git is too serious. Coding is chaos. Let's embrace it.

This tool won't improve your Git hygiene, but it will make it more entertaining.
