Original Pull Request: https://github.com/git-ai-project/git-ai/pull/225

State: closed
Merged: No

Summary

This PR adds git-ai enable and git-ai disable commands to provide a mechanism to disable the git-ai wrapper for git operations in case git-ai blocks execution or creates other problems. This allows users to bypass git-ai and use the underlying git binary directly when needed.

Problem

When git-ai is installed as a wrapper (the recommended enterprise deployment method), it intercepts all git commands. In some cases, git-ai may block execution or create problems that prevent normal git operations. Users need a reliable way to disable the wrapper to bypass git-ai and use the underlying git binary directly.

Solution

This PR adds two new commands:

git-ai disable: Disables the git-ai wrapper by renaming the git binary wrapper, allowing all git commands to bypass git-ai and execute the underlying git binary directly
git-ai enable: Re-enables the git-ai wrapper by restoring the git binary wrapper

The implementation works by:

When disabled: The git wrapper binary is renamed to git.disabled, so git commands no longer route through git-ai
When enabled: The git.disabled binary is renamed back to git, restoring git-ai interception

The commands include user-friendly error messages and help text that clearly explain their purpose without exposing implementation details.

Changes

Added enable and disable command handlers in src/commands/git_ai_handlers.rs
Added enable_git_ai() and disable_git_ai() utility functions in src/utils.rs
Added is_git_ai_disabled() check function to detect wrapper state
Updated help text to document the new commands
Added logic to allow enable/disable commands to work even when git-ai is disabled
Added user-friendly error messages that don't expose implementation details

Usage

Users can now disable git-ai when needed:

# Disable git-ai wrapper (bypasses git-ai, uses underlying git directly)
git-ai disable

# Re-enable git-ai wrapper
git-ai enable

When disabled, all git commands will bypass git-ai and execute the underlying git binary directly, allowing users to continue working even if git-ai is experiencing issues.

Testing

Verified that help text displays correctly
Verified that error messages are clear and user-friendly
The underlying functionality remains unchanged (still uses file renaming mechanism)
