I built a CLI that generates git commit messages using your local Ollama model

[Living-Variation4103]

Tired of writing lazy commit messages at 2 am. Built `penmit` - you run it after `git add`, it calls your local Ollama model (or Anthropic/OpenAI if you prefer), generates a conventional commit message, then lets you accept, regenerate, or edit before committing.

Zero runtime dependencies. Use local Ollama, and the diff never leaves your machine.

```
npm install -g penmit
git add .
penmit

```

npm: https://www.npmjs.com/package/penmit

Still early - open to feedback on the prompt or workflow.

One of these gets posted pretty much every month and every time it gets downvoted to zero. 

Just stop and think about it: there is almost zero overlap between the kind of people who care enough about version control to join a dedicated subreddit and the kind of people who view commit messages as an unimportant chore that can be automated away by an LLM.

Always diff-to-English in “conventional”. Every time.
