## What it is
CodeGPT is a Go-based CLI tool that uses LLM APIs (OpenAI, Gemini, Anthropic, Groq, Ollama, OpenRouter) to generate git commit messages and code review summaries. It automatically installs a git prepare-commit-msg hook to streamline the commit workflow.

## Use cases
- generate git commit messages with AI
- automate code review summaries
- install a prepare-commit-msg hook
- write conventional commits from staged changes
- review pull request diffs with an LLM
- use multiple LLM providers from the command line

## When to choose
- you want AI-generated commit messages without leaving the terminal
- you need quick automated code review summaries in git workflows
- you want a single tool supporting OpenAI, Gemini, Anthropic, Groq, and Ollama backends

## When to avoid
- you need a full IDE-based AI coding assistant
- you don't want to send code diffs to third-party LLM APIs
- you require offline commit message generation without any LLM API access
