Frequently Asked Questions

General Questions

What is CommitKey?

CommitKey is a developer-focused Git infrastructure platform designed specifically for AI agents and SaaS platforms. We provide API-first Git services that enable organizations to own and control their version control infrastructure.

How is CommitKey different from GitHub or GitLab?

While GitHub and GitLab are excellent for human developers, CommitKey is specifically designed for:

• AI Agents: Programmatic access to Git operations
• SaaS Platforms: Multi-tenant repository management
• API-First: Complete Git operations through REST APIs
• Organization Control: Deploy in your infrastructure or use our managed service

Can I use CommitKey alongside GitHub or GitLab?

Yes! CommitKey can work alongside existing Git hosting services. Many organizations use CommitKey for AI agent workflows while maintaining their existing GitHub/GitLab repositories for human developers.

API and Integration

How do I get started with the API?

1. Sign up for a CommitKey account
2. Generate an API key in your account settings
3. Start making API requests to https://api.commitkey.dev/v1
4. Check out our Quick Start Guide

What programming languages are supported?

CommitKey is language-agnostic since it's a REST API. We provide official SDKs for:

• JavaScript/TypeScript
• Python
• Go

You can also use any HTTP client library in any language.

Are there rate limits?

Yes, we have rate limits to ensure fair usage:

• Free Tier: 1,000 requests per hour
• Pro Tier: 10,000 requests per hour
• Enterprise: Custom limits

Rate limit headers are included in all API responses.

How do I handle authentication?

CommitKey uses API key authentication. Include your API key in the Authorization header:

Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY

See our Authentication guide for more details.

Repository Management

Can I import existing repositories?

Yes! You can import repositories from other Git hosting services using our import API or by pushing to a CommitKey repository.

How do I manage multiple repositories?

Use our repository management API to:

• List all repositories
• Create new repositories
• Update repository settings
• Delete repositories

See our Repository Management guide for examples.

Can I create private repositories?

Yes, all repositories can be private by default. You can also make them public if needed.

How do I handle large files?

CommitKey supports Git LFS (Large File Storage) for handling large files. Contact support for setup assistance.

AI Agent Integration

How do I integrate CommitKey with my AI agent?

CommitKey is designed specifically for AI agents. You can:

1. Use our REST API to perform Git operations
2. Create isolated repositories for each AI agent
3. Use webhooks for real-time notifications
4. Implement automated workflows

See our AI Agent Integration guide for detailed examples.

Can multiple AI agents work on the same repository?

Yes, but we recommend using separate repositories or branches for each AI agent to avoid conflicts. You can merge changes later if needed.

How do I handle concurrent operations?

CommitKey handles concurrent operations automatically. If conflicts occur, you'll receive appropriate error messages that you can handle in your AI agent code.

Security and Compliance

Is my data secure?

Yes, CommitKey takes security seriously:

• All data is encrypted in transit and at rest
• API keys are securely stored and can be rotated
• We follow industry best practices for security
• Enterprise customers can deploy in their own infrastructure

Can I deploy CommitKey in my own infrastructure?

Yes! Enterprise customers can deploy CommitKey in their own infrastructure for complete control over their data.

Do you support SSO?

Yes, we support SAML and OIDC for enterprise customers. Contact sales for more information.

Technical Questions

What Git features are supported?

CommitKey supports all standard Git features:

• Branches and merges
• Tags and releases
• Pull requests (coming soon)

Can I use Git commands directly?

While CommitKey is API-first, you can also use standard Git commands with our Git endpoints. However, we recommend using our REST API for better integration with AI agents.

How do I handle merge conflicts?

Merge conflicts are handled through our API. You'll receive conflict information in the API response, which you can resolve programmatically.

Is there a CLI tool?

We're working on a CLI tool! In the meantime, you can use our REST API or create your own CLI using our SDKs.
