🎓 How It Works

Smart Suggestions

Commitz analyzes your git diff to generate intelligent commit message suggestions:

• File analysis: Examines modified files and their paths
• Content analysis: Looks for keywords in added/modified code
• Pattern recognition: Identifies common patterns (tests, docs, fixes)
• Context awareness: Uses branch names and project structure

Scope Detection

Automatically detects scope from:

1. Branch names: feature/auth → scope: feature
2. Project structure: Scans for common directories (cmd, pkg, api, etc.)
3. Manual input: You can always specify your own scope

🤝 Contributing

Contributions are welcome! Please feel free to submit a Pull Request.

1. Fork the repository
2. Create your feature branch (git checkout -b feature/amazing-feature)
3. Commit your changes using commitz! (commitz -i -e)
4. Push to the branch (git push origin feature/amazing-feature)
5. Open a Pull Request

📝 Conventional Commits

This tool follows the Conventional Commits specification:

<type>[optional scope]: <description>
[optional body]
[optional footer(s)]

Example:

feat(auth): add JWT authentication
- Implement token generation and validation
- Add middleware for protected routes
