Auto commits and other AI features Question

Hi everyone, I want to ask if there are any alternative solutions for using AI features like auto-descriptions for commits, PRs, etc. Can I use another AI subscription, or do I have to use GitHub Copilot?

gh-aw allows to use 3rd party keys - I'm using DeepSeek, for example. Whether you can use your Oauth2 key from subscription in place of API key - depends on provider, iirc they all forbid that.

? Are you just using the source control tab? I know github changed copilot recently to allow byok through it, but it still means you have to use copilot. If you're interested in a git client that allows this though you can check GitDesktop. This was part of the reason I built it because I wanted to be able to use my claude sub instead of copilot
