Commit - Your Commit Message Copywriter

What is /commit?

The /commit command acts as your automated commit message assistant. It simplifies the process by generating structured and informative summaries of your changesets. This empowers collaborators to grasp the intent and impact of your modifications with greater ease.

Prompt: /commit [ optional extra information ]

How it Works

The /commit command offers a multifaceted approach to generating commit messages:

• Automated Commit Message Generation: Initiating the command with /commit triggers the automatic creation of a commit message based on the code changes detected within the current changeset.
• Additional Instructions: You can provide supplementary details to tailor the commit message further. These additional parameters are incorporated into the message, ensuring your commit message captures the essence of your changes.
• PR Change Score Integration: If your development workflow involves pull request (PR) reviews with scoring mechanisms, the /commit command can optionally integrate this score into the generated message. This provides a consolidated overview of the changes and their associated quality assessment.

Uses

• Commit Message Automation: Simplify the commit message creation process with an automated and consistent approach.
• Customization with Extra Instructions: Tailor commit messages further by adding optional instructions.
• PR Change Score Documentation: Integrate the PR change score into the commit message for enhanced transparency.

Using Additional Information

The /commit command offers flexibility when crafting commit messages. You can include additional information using parameters following the base command. Here's an example:

Prompt: /commit also add PR change score

In this instance, the /commit command will generate a message based on the changeset and incorporate the PR change score (if applicable to your workflow). This empowers you to tailor commit messages to include specific details relevant to your project and development process.

Examples

Prompt: /commit

Output: Add new feature: User authentication

Prompt: /commit also adds the PR change score

Output: Implement feature: User profile management. Change Score: 92
