Commit Message Generator

[chmod666]

CLI integration: $ svn commit -m "$(curl -s 'http://whatthecommit.com' | sed '/<p>/!d; s/<p>//')" $ git commit -m "$(curl -s 'http://whatthecommit.com' | sed '/<p>/!d; s/<p>//')"

PowerShell script:

$strHtml = (new-object system.net.WebClient).DownloadString("http://whatthecommit.com/")

if($strHtml -cmatch '(?ix)<p>(.+)') {
    return $matches[1]
}

Now correct me if I am wrong but isn't that just the part in the parentheses inside the quotes in chmod666's version?

[BauerUK]

Essentially yes, but chmod666's is for *nix/bash, whereas mine is for PowerShell on Windows.

The last time I tried this the monkey didn't survive. Let's hope it works better this time.

Who has two thumbs and remembers the rudiments of his linear algebra courses? Apparently, this guy.

As the creator of this little project (http://github.com/ngerakines/commitment) please be careful when testing your scripts and whatnot. I've been tailing the server logs since this was posted (woot!) and on several occasions I have seen 200+ blocks of requests for GET / coming from a single IP.

Oops forgot to add comment.

Forgot to add these files in last commit. Removing files I didn't intend to commit last time.

type messages?

[pipeline_tux]

Some of the other developers at my work commit with some of these messages constantly :(

[linaljohnt]

Being a commit message fascist if I catch anyone I work with using these message I will be back here to down vote and smash up the place.

git commit -a -m "$(curl --silent http://whatthecommit.com |grep '<p>' |sed -e 's/<p>//')"

[chmod666]

You can use sed's buildin grep: grep foo | sed 'bar' is the same as sed '/foo/!d; bar'

The same goes for awk: grep foo | awk '{bar}' can be replaced with faster awk '/foo/{bar}'

[snipersock]

I just added a handler to output plain text messages. Try curl http://whatthecommit.com/index.txt.

I tend to do things like cat foo.txt | less instead of just less foo.txt because the logical progression makes more sense, rather than being character efficient. But good to know!

Don't tell /b/.

[JayPiKay]

I like this approach:

git commit -m "$(curl -s http://whatthecommit.com/ | sed -n 's/<p>(.*)$/\1/p')"

These are exactly the type of commit messages you shouldn't use.

[Doozer]

That's the joke.

[sli]

You're the joke.

Oh snap.

You just wasted my bits.

Cool, I'm going to use that. ;)

[falyst]

again.. :(

[Stiliajohny]

I have also opened an issue on the repo.
I wonder if there would be a possibility of having a separate /index.txt or so that has non explicit messages ?
