Show HN: Gix, A small CLI tool that adds a touch of AI to Git

I’ve been building a small CLI tool called Gix that brings a bit of AI into Git, not to replace your workflow, but to make some of the repetitive parts less painful.
It's written in Go, works cross-platform, and runs entirely local. You provide your own OpenAI key, and Gix can:
Break up large diffs into smaller, logical commits
Suggest conventional commit messages from staged changes
Still early-stage but stable. If it's useful to you, feel free to leave feedback, contribute, or star the repo, it helps me know whether to keep pushing it forward.

Please consider picking a different name. "gix" is already a well-established set of Git libraries for Rust: https://docs.rs/gix/0.73.0/gix/

It was inspired by tools like Warp and VS Copilot, started as a personal project to enhance my own Git workflow. Just sharing it in case others find it useful too.
