commit-gen

Overview

commit-gen is a CLI tool that reads your staged git diff and generates a conventional commit message. It uses an LLM API under the hood, but the interface is as simple as running a command.

Usage

git add .
commit-gen
# → feat(auth): add JWT refresh token rotation

Why I built it

Writing good commit messages consistently is hard, especially in the middle of a flow state. I wanted something that inferred intent from the diff rather than just echoing filenames.

Built in Go because I wanted a single binary I could drop anywhere in my PATH — no runtime, no install script.
