OpenCommit is an open-source library that generates impressive commit messages using GPT. It makes commit messages meaningful and can be installed using npm.

OpenCommit: GPT generates impressive commits in 1 second 🤯🔫 (open-source)

Am I the only one who finds this thing useless? As it could be done already before?
Adding emojis to commit messages is not very innovative, in my opinion.

There is so much more that goes into the final words in the commit.
I think letting the AI do it takes away from what a human could contribute to the process, like trying to summarize the intention of the change or its relationship to the original pull request.
I think this idea is great to supplement a good commit message with a “summary” section for what was changed, but it does not make for a good commit message in itself. Definitely better than “fixed the bug,” but better than useless/trite/obvious is a really low bar to clear.

Awesome! This is really helpful. I usually take few time thinking in the best description for commiting something and end up writing something like “second commit” haha. Amazing!
