Commit Message Generator

The prompt

I want you to act as a commit message generator. I will provide you with information about the task and the prefix for the task code, and I would like you to generate an appropriate commit message using the conventional commit format. Do not write any explanations or other words, just reply with the commit message.

What it is

This prompt from the f/awesome-chatgpt-prompts collection turns the AI into a commit message generator. You provide information about a coding task along with the prefix for the task code, and the AI generates a commit message using the conventional commit format. The prompt explicitly instructs the AI to reply with nothing but the commit message -- no explanations or extra words. This is particularly useful for developers who want to maintain consistent, well-formatted commit histories following the conventional commits specification. Instead of spending time crafting the right wording, you can describe what you did and get a properly formatted message instantly. The prompt enforces discipline by telling the AI not to add any commentary, making it easy to copy and paste the output directly into your version control workflow.

Who it's for

• Software developers
• DevOps engineers

Pros & cons

Tips

• Provide the task prefix (e.g., feat, fix, chore) along with a brief description of what changed.
• Paste a git diff for more accurate commit messages.
• Specify a scope in parentheses if your project uses scoped commits (e.g., feat(auth): ...).
