I feel like this might be a good case for LLMs.. Auto git commit suggestions based on the diff.
There are already some attempts but I don't think it will work, harmful even. Best case scenario, the AI can understand the code as well as a senior engineer from another company. All they can know without the context is what was changed, which is useless. We need the reason why the commit was made, not what was changed. The info is not there in the first place for the AI to try to extract.
@CanadianNomad @lucas Awesome idea, yeah I can totally see that working well :)
If it does, I haven't seen it.. I'd be happy to test drive it.
