The Problem: Your Commit History is a Lie

Let's be honest. The 'conventional commits' standard was created by people who have never had to commit a hotfix at 2 AM after their cat walked across the keyboard. We've collectively agreed to participate in a charade where we must label every single change with a profound, searchable, semantically-versioned tag. Was it a 'feat,' a 'fix,' a 'chore,' or a 'refactor'? The fate of the free world hinges on your decision.

This creates two types of developers. The first spends 20 minutes composing a miniature thesis: feat(auth): implement robust, fault-tolerant JWT validation middleware with comprehensive unit tests and enhanced security logging. The change? They added a try-catch block. The second developer, defeated by the process, just types 'asdf' and hits enter, dooming future archaeologists to eternal confusion.

The worst part? The pressure is utterly performative. We all know that 80% of commits are mundane: formatting tweaks, dependency bumps, fixing a typo in a comment, or—the most common of all—reverting the thing you just broke five minutes ago. No amount of poetic messaging will make 'changed indentation from spaces to tabs' sound like you just cured cancer.

The Solution: Automated Corporate Bullsh*t

I built Git Commit Message Generator to solve this existential crisis. Why should you waste neurons on this nonsense when a simple script can do it with more consistency and a better vocabulary? The tool analyzes your staged changes (the git diff) and generates a message that is:

• Appropriately Labeled: Did you just change whitespace? It'll call it a 'chore' or 'style' update. Did you add a new function? That's a 'feat.' It's not rocket science, but it's also not your problem anymore.
• Convincingly Professional: It uses templates and a bit of randomness to produce messages that sound like they were written by a Senior Staff Engineer who drinks organic, fair-trade kombucha.
• Optionally Buzzwordy: Can't get promoted without 'leveraging synergies' and 'optimizing scalable paradigms'? There's a flag for that.

It's satire, but it's useful satire. It acknowledges the game we're all forced to play and automates the most tedious part. Your commit history becomes uniformly polished, your teammates stop judging you, and you reclaim precious minutes of your life.

How to Use It: Embrace the Automation

Getting started is easier than explaining to your manager why your last commit message was 'lol idk.'

Installation: It's a Python script. Clone the repo and install its one dependency.

git clone https://github.com/BoopyCode/commit-message-generator.git
cd commit-message-generator
pip install -r requirements.txt  # (It's basically just the 'requests' library)

Basic Usage: Stage your changes like normal, then let the tool take the wheel.

# Stage your files
git add .

# Generate and use a commit message
python generate_commit.py --auto-commit

# Or, just generate the message to see it first
python generate_commit.py

The magic happens in the main script. Here's a tiny taste of the logic that saves your sanity:

# A simplified peek at the core logic (from generate_commit.py)
def analyze_changes(diff_output):
    """Detects what kind of nonsense you actually did."""
    if is_mostly_whitespace(diff_output):
        commit_type = "chore"
        description = "adjust code formatting and style for consistency"
    elif contains_new_feature(diff_output):
        commit_type = "feat"
        description = generate_feat_description()  # e.g., "add user preferences endpoint"
    else:
        commit_type = "fix"
        description = "resolve unspecified issue"  # The classic.
    return f"{commit_type}: {description}"

Key Features: Your New Commit Butler

• Generates Convincingly Professional Commit Messages: No more 'update file.' Get 'refactor: streamline data processing pipeline initialization.'
• Matches Commit Type to Actual Changes: It actually looks at your diff! Formatting changes get 'style,' new files get 'feat,' deletions get 'chore.' It's almost like it pays attention.
• Includes Optional Corporate Buzzwords: Enable --buzzword mode for messages like "synergize cross-platform value streams" or "leverage agile frameworks." Essential for enterprise environments.
• Can Auto-Commit with Generated Message: One flag (--auto-commit) and it stages, generates, and commits. Peak efficiency. Peak surrender.

Conclusion: Let the Machine Write the Fiction

The Git Commit Message Generator won't write your code for you, but it will write the cover story. It liberates you from the tyranny of faux-profundity and lets you focus on what actually matters: writing code, breaking it, and then writing more code to fix the first code.

Your commit history will look like it was curated by a team of project management consultants, and you'll have spent exactly zero emotional energy on it. That's a win-win, or as the tool might say, a "strategic optimization of developer workflow ROI."

Now go forth and commit with the confident indifference of a developer who has automated their own bureaucracy.
