    A Git hook that turns your commit title into Japanese poetry▲5

    When putting the kids to bed I had some inspiration and wrote a git hook that turns the title of my commit message into a haiku. Because of the Japanese poetry theme, I had to write it in Ruby What do you think?

    Blog Posts from Git Commits – A Tiny Tool for the Lazy Dev▲5

    I put together a small prototype that might help folks like me who struggle with keeping their website’s blog active just for SEO. It’s a basic tool: you enter your Git repo details (owner, name, branch), pick a date range, and it generates a short blog post from the commits in that period. The idea is to give small businesses and solo devs a way to keep their blog up-to-date with actual product updates without needing to write new content. Right now, it’s still pretty minimal but I’d really appreciate any feedback, especially if you think this could be useful, or if you have ideas on how it…

    Claudit – Claude Code Conversations as Git Notes, Automatically▲7

    Uses agent and Git Hooks to automatically create Git Notes on commit, containing the agent conversation that led to that commit. Works if either you or the agent commit. It's basically the same thing as entire.io just announced that they got $60m investment for. Except I got Claude Code to write it last week, in my spare time, without really paying attention. I certainly didn't read or write any of the code, except for one rubbish joke in the README. I've got a Claude Code instance working on Gemini CLI support and OpenCode support currently.
