2 things to look at
- no licenseNo license file was found in the repository. Code published without one is not open source by default, so using it at work is a question for whoever answers licensing questions where you are.
- 0 stars0 stars. Stars are a popularity signal and not a quality one, but at this level it is likely that nobody has read this closely except its author, and you would be relying on your own review.
What its author says it does
Copied from the file, not written here
Execute git commit with conventional commit message analysis, intelligent staging, and message generation. Use when user asks to commit changes, create a git commit, or mentions "/commit". Supports: (1) Auto-detecting type and scope from changes, (2) Generating conventional commit messages from diff, (3) Interactive commit with optional type/scope/description overrides, (4) Intelligent file staging for logical grouping
The file declares its own license as MIT. That is the author’s claim about this one file, and it is not the same thing as the license GitHub reports for the repository, which is listed with the other numbers below.

Git Commit with Conventional Commits
Overview
Create standardized, semantic git commits using the Conventional Commits specification. Analyze the actual diff to determine appropriate type, scope, and message, then format the final commit as:
- Title
- A brief about what changed
- Changes explanation
Conventional Commit Format
<type>[optional scope]: <description>
[brief summary of what changed]
[changes explanation]
[optional footer(s)]
Where:
- Title: The Conventional Commit subject line.
- A brief about what changed: A short paragraph or 1-2 concise sentences summarizing the overall change.
- Changes explanation: A compact explanation of the main edits, preferably as short bullets when multiple changes need to be called out.
Commit Types
| Type | Purpose |
|---|---|
feat | New feature |
fix | Bug fix |
docs | Documentation only |
style | Formatting/style (no logic) |
refactor | Code refactor (no feature/fix) |
perf | Performance improvement |
test | Add/update tests |
build | Build system/dependencies |
ci | CI/config changes |
chore | Maintenance/misc |
revert | Revert commit |
Breaking Changes
# Exclamation mark after type/scope
feat!: remove deprecated endpoint
# BREAKING CHANGE footer
feat: allow config to extend other configs
BREAKING CHANGE: `extends` key behavior changed
Workflow
1. Analyze Diff
# If files are staged, use staged diff
git diff --staged
# If nothing staged, use working tree diff
git diff
# Also check status
git status --porcelain
2. Stage Files (if needed)
If nothing is staged or you want to group changes differently:
# Stage specific files
git add path/to/file1 path/to/file2
# Stage by pattern
git add *.test.*
git add src/components/*
# Interactive staging
git add -p
Never commit secrets (.env, credentials.json, private keys).
3. Generate Commit Message
Analyze the diff to determine:
- Type: What kind of change is this?
- Scope: What area/module is affected?
- Description: One-line summary of what changed (present tense, imperative mood, <72 chars)
- Brief: A short summary of the overall change in plain language
- Changes explanation: The key implementation details worth preserving in history
Output the final commit message in this order:
- Title
- A brief about what changed
- Changes explanation
4. Execute Commit
# Single line
git commit -m "<type>[scope]: <description>"
# Multi-line with body/footer
git commit -m "$(cat <<'EOF'
<type>[scope]: <description>
<brief summary of what changed>
Changes explanation:
- <change detail 1>
- <change detail 2>
<optional footer>
EOF
)"
Best Practices
- One logical change per commit
- Present tense: "add" not "added"
- Imperative mood: "fix bug" not "fixes bug"
- Keep the body structured as: brief summary, then changes explanation
- Reference issues:
Closes #123,Refs #456 - Keep description under 72 characters
Git Safety Protocol
- NEVER update git config
- NEVER run destructive commands (--force, hard reset) without explicit request
- NEVER skip hooks (--no-verify) unless user asks
- NEVER force push to main/master
- If commit fails due to hooks, fix and create NEW commit (don't amend)
