Hi @CsBigDataHub

Not sure if it is really useful. Helpful commit message says why changes made, not what changed. And LLM can't extract the reason from diff.

However, have you looked at the commits in this repository? :wink:

Projects have different commit message conventions, but I think the first line of commit should say what was changed. The body, if present, can tell more: sometimes it's why, sometimes it's just in higher level to get an idea of the change without looking into the code.

Is this explanation for 42da4b2 poor?

Hi @s-kostyaev totally agree but this feature can help speedup the commit writing message with more detail. Of course generated content can be edited. Please see Opencommit projects prompt.

Actually, I wasn't too sold on this until I saw the example above, which I'll paste here for anyone else reading this thread. I now think this is quite useful.
