- Describe Your Changes — Type a natural language description of what you changed (e.g. 'Fixed login button not responding on mobile') or paste a git diff. The tool automatically detects the commit type and scope from your text.
- Select Commit Type — Choose from 11 conventional commit types: feat, fix, docs, style, refactor, perf, test, build, ci, chore, revert. The tool auto-selects based on keywords in your description.
- Add Scope (Optional) — Enter a scope like 'auth', 'api', 'ui', or 'db' to specify which part of the codebase was affected. Auto-detected from your description if possible.
- Breaking Changes — Check the breaking change box and provide a description if your commit introduces backwards-incompatible changes.
- Generate Messages — Click Generate to create 3-4 message formats: Conventional (type(scope): desc), Emoji (✨ feat: desc), Simple (plain description), and Detailed (with body, breaking change, and footer). Click any message to copy it.
Git Commit Message Generator — Write Better Commits Faster
The Git Commit Message Generator helps you write clean, standardized commit messages following the Conventional Commits specification. Describe your changes in natural language or paste a git diff, and the tool generates properly formatted commit messages in multiple styles — conventional, emoji, simple, and detailed.
Good commit messages are essential for project maintainability, code reviews, automated changelogs, and semantic versioning. This tool makes writing them effortless.
Key Features
- 11 Commit Types — All standard Conventional Commits types: feat (✨), fix (🐛), docs (📝), style (💄), refactor (♻️), perf (⚡), test (✅), build (📦), ci (🔧), chore (🔨), revert (⏪). Each with its corresponding emoji.
- Auto Type Detection — The tool analyzes your description and automatically selects the appropriate commit type. Keywords like 'fix', 'bug', 'error' → fix. Keywords like 'add', 'feature', 'implement' → feat. Covers all 11 types.
- Auto Scope Detection — Detects scope from your description: 'login' → auth, 'button' → ui, 'database' → db, 'endpoint' → api, and more.
- Diff Parsing — Paste a git diff and the tool extracts file names and line counts (+additions/-deletions) to create a meaningful commit summary.
- 4 Output Formats — Conventional (type(scope): desc), Emoji (✨ type: desc), Simple (plain text), and Detailed (multi-line with body, BREAKING CHANGE, and footer).
- Breaking Changes — Toggle breaking change flag to add a ! after the type and include a BREAKING CHANGE footer in the detailed format.
- Body & Footer — Add optional body text for additional context and footer for issue references (Closes #123, Refs #456).

- test — Adding or updating tests.
- build — Build system or dependency changes (webpack, npm, pip).
- ci — CI/CD configuration changes (GitHub Actions, Jenkins).
- chore — Maintenance tasks, version bumps, dependency updates.
- revert — Reverting a previous commit.
Use Cases
