How It Works
When you’re ready to commit changes:
Stage your files in the Git panel
Click the sparkle (✨) icon next to the commit message field
Review the generated message and edit if needed
Complete your commit
The AI analyzes your recent code changes and creates a meaningful commit message that describes what you’ve done.
Best Practices
For better results:
Apply general best practices for commit scope: group together small, meaningful units of changes
Review the message before committing
Limitations
Large or complex commits may result in more generic messages
Specialized terminology might not always be captured perfectly
Generated messages are suggestions and may need editing
