Git AI is an open-source Git extension that tracks AI-generated code in your repositories, linking every AI-written line to the agent, model, and prompts that generated it. Git AI uses checkpoints and hooks to track incremental code changes between the start and end of a commit. Each checkpoint contains a diff between the current state and the previous checkpoint, marked as either AI or human authored. This approach is more accurate than those approaches focusing on tracking AI code authorship by counting lines of code at the moment of insertion.
Git AI uses an open standard for tracking AI-generated code with Git Notes. While the ecosystem of supported agents is still maturing, we believe Git AI is worth assessing for teams looking to maintain long-term accountability and maintainability in an agentic workflow. Both humans and AI agents can query the original intent and architectural decisions behind a specific block of code via the /ask skill, by referencing the archived agent session.
