Auto-Commit with Conventional Commits

Automatically stage and commit changes using the conventional commits specification.

Conventional Commits Format

<type>(<scope>): <description>

[optional body]

Commit Types

Scope (Optional)

Add scope in parentheses for context:

• feat(auth): add login endpoint
• fix(api): handle null response
• docs(readme): update install instructions

Commit Workflow

1. Check for changes: git status
2. If changes exist:
   • Stage all: git add -A
   • Review staged: git diff --staged
   • Determine type from changes
   • Write concise description (imperative mood)
   • Commit with proper format

Message Guidelines

• Use imperative mood: "add feature" not "added feature"
• Keep first line under 72 characters
• Don't end with period
• Be specific but concise

Good Examples

feat(api): add user authentication endpoint
fix: resolve null pointer in payment processing
docs: update API usage examples
chore: upgrade dependencies to latest versions
refactor(db): extract query builder to separate module

Bad Examples

updated stuff          # Too vague
Fixed the bug.         # Don't end with period
Added new feature      # Wrong tense

Important

• Only commit, do NOT push
• Always use conventional commits format
• Include scope when it adds clarity
