first — let's grow my twitter, so i can tell about my inventions quicker and make the world even better place (or not, idk)
I struggled making commit messages since 2017. When you think of a commit message — you switch context from writing code. When you switch context — you waste time. Wasting time is lame.
I usually made 1 line commits like "amends", "fixed bug", "refactoring" and then tried to come up with a good general message when merging a branch to production.
It has changed when ChatGPT was published.
I open-sourced OpenCommit.
The library uses conventional commits convention which makes commits concise and comprehensive. You can also turn on GitMoji setting if you like.
Simply install it with npm:
npm i -g opencommit
After installing type oc and hit "Enter" in a terminal:
oc
That's it.
For more info read the docs.
i know it's impressive, i'll probably help the world more with other extraordinary inventions, you may follow my bird twitter

Just to make sure for members who want to use this for your coding life. This will charge your money 💸💸 since you are using costing version of OpenAI 🧠. But luckily, when register the account, you will get ~20 🪙 into your own account and the price is cheaper when
ocusing low-cost modal unlike chatGPT (~10x cheaper). With that amount I guess you can use for about over a year without any worried 💹💹.But still, I will suggest you learn how to message better commit since it is required skill for coder inside company or freelancer. Best wishes 🌹🌹
i believe you can start using the tool and see how good commits are done, then if you dont want to spend ~$0.5 each day for the AI — you know how to do same :)
Brilliant idea, It is a new approach I haven't considered. 😂😂
Nice stuff as long as you are working on open source projects. I'm not quite sure yet if it works for commits that should explain the context or intent of a change rather than just what is done (which could be deducted from the diff anyway if the developer reading it is familiar enough with the field), but for simple tasks that don't need lengthy explanation it is a nice feature.
If working on proprietary code, please be aware that you may be criminally liable for leaking company secrets.

yep, it's like sending your code to OpenAI, read their policy pls
It looks cool.
How about extension for IDE in the future?
you can use
oc hook setto insert opencommit into the pipeline, IDEs will handle the rest <3Oh cool! We need more of this type of things, for commits, for writing stories, for reviewing code .... it's a bright future for AI
thanks ;)
This is a very useful tool.
thanks here :)
This is impressive! Thanks for sharing. Will give it a spin! 🧠
thank you Benny ;)
is this a fork of aicommits?
has the same hook feature, but implements conventional commits and allows you to commit really large files (it's done in chunks)
can i use it in webstorm?
it's a CLI, you can use it everywhere, any IDE. it's also possible to insert it in a git hook, so IDE uses it when you use it's Source Control feature.
Run
Thank you so much for this amazing chat-GPT tool!!!!!
It will change my life for commits forever! I sucked all the time to explain things with details.
;)
I expect to see this everywhere soon. Super helpful.
thank you!
