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've been struggling 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", "refactoring 2", "final refactoring" and then tried to come up with a good general message when merging a branch to production.

It has changed with THE FIRST AI REVOLUTION :)) I mean all this GPTs..

Two weeks ago I open-sourced OpenCommit. It can answer WHY the change was done if you change model to GPT-4 in settings! Insane.

The lib uses conventional commits convention which makes commits meaningful. You can also turn on GitMoji setting if you like. And select different languages and many other features (I got 12 PRs so far)

Simply install it with npm:

npm i -g opencommit

After installing type oc and hit "Enter" in a terminal:

oc

If you want OpenCommit to be used by your IDE do:

oc hook set

That's it.

For more features read the docs.
