Git commit Generator
I Built a Git Commit Message Generator So I’d Stop Burning Tokens on Commits
Writing good commit messages is tedious and firing up an LLM for every one wastes time and tokens. So I built a fast, offline generator in Claude Design.
I’ll admit something most developers won’t: I’m often too lazy to write a proper commit message.
And when I’m tired at the end of a long session, I just blank on the wording entirely.
So my “solution” became a habit paste the change into ChatGPT, ask it to write the commit, copy it back.
Every single time.
I’m clearly not the only one.
A lot of people out there have the exact same friction.
And yes, AI handles it fine.
But think about what that actually costs: you wait for the model to respond, and you spend tokens, just to label a one-line change.
For something this small and this repetitive, that felt wrong.
