Show HN: Build the habit of writing meaningful commit messages
Too often I find myself being lazy with commit messages. But I don't want AI to write them for me... only i truly know why i wrote the code i did.
So why don't i get AI to help me get that into words from my head?
That's what i built: smartcommit asks you questions about your changes, then helps you articulate what you already know into a proper commit message. Captures the what, how, and why.
Built this after repeatedly being confused 6 months in a project as to why i made the change i had made...
Would love feedback!
