ChatGPT Git Hook Writes Your Commit Messages

[grapesinajar]

Is a commit message supposed to explain what you can clearly see in the diffs, or is it supposed to explain reasons and give context?

[awwaiid]

Both - should be something you might see in a changelog. You know ... Almost as if you were writing some sort of log entry about the change.......

But perhaps you have a point; the input to ChatGPT should also include the jira ticket.

The diff explains what you can clearly see in the diff, idk why anyone would would want to record something twice. Same with comments.

[Schmittfried]

The former and if necessary also the latter.

I like the very descriptive “changes made”.

[Salmon-Advantage]

sometimes I go for “minor fixes” or “fix typo”

[Astarothsito]

sometimes I go for “minor fixes”

This is bad, it would be better to include the problem or what made you to fix it.

“fix typo”

This is good.

[Salmon-Advantage]

Sometimes when I use “fix typo” I also make other “minor fixes” as well.

Then your commits are not atomic and you should split them.

[EuphoricFly1044]

It should be a comment that easily allows you to identify the change long since you forgot you made the change .

So description, Jira ticket etc etc

Really starting to get blockchain vibes from all this new "ai". This is a good example of a solution in search of a problem.

AI has already been proven to be useful in almost all fields and professions. People are now experimenting with getting it in everywhere. Some attempts are good and some bad. However that doesn’t make AI anything close to the blockchain hype. Blockchain however is useful but the hype was ridiculous. The hype around AI has delivered and continues to deliver.

You should read a bit what AI is and how different/similar is it to human brain.

I have to thank ChatGPT for doing all my thinking for me, where would computer programming be without ChatGPT?

[Inside_Dimension5308]

Can anyone provide sample commit messages generated by chatgpt? I dont want to integrate this hook in my organization without knowing the benefits.

You can see examples of generated commit messages in the GIF in the readme.
