turbocommit is a CLI tool written in Rust that generates commit messages in accordance with the Conventional Commits specification. It uses the git diff to create commit messages that accurately reflect the changes made to a repository.
turbocommit can be easily installed with Cargo, Rust's package manager. Simply run the following command:
bash
cargo install turbocommit
Please note that in order to use turbocommit, you will need to set the OPENAI_API_KEY environment variable. This API key is required to use the OpenAI gpt-3.5-turbo language model, which is used by turbocommit to generate commit messages.
Using turbocommit is simple. Once it is installed and your OPENAI_API_KEY is set, navigate to your repository and run the following command:
bash
turbocommit
This will generate a commit message based on the changes made to the repository, following the Conventional Commits specification.
Using turbocommit can help you keep your git commit history at a higher quality, as it generates informative and standardized commit messages that accurately reflect the changes made to the repository. Additionally, because it uses OpenAI's gpt-3.5-turbo language model, it is a very cheap way to improve the quality of your git commit messages.
