diny▲175Hi everyone, I built a CLI tool called *diny* that generates Git commit messages directly from your staged changes. - It runs `git diff` and filters out noise like lockfiles, build artifacts, and binaries. - From the cleaned diff it suggests a clear commit message. - You can confirm or refine the message before committing. Key points: - No setup or API keys required. - Lightweight, local-first workflow. - Supports different lengths and styles (short, normal, long; conventional or simple). - Built in Go with Cobra for a familiar CLI experience. Repo:…

Too often I find myself being lazy with commit messages. But I don't want AI to write them for me... only i truly know why i wrote the code i did. So why don't i get AI to help me get that into words from my head? That's what i built: smartcommit asks you questions about your changes, then helps you articulate what you already know into a proper commit message. Captures the what, how, and why. Built this after repeatedly being confused 6 months in a project as to why i made the change i had made... Would love feedback!

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?

Hunk-by-hunk and line-by-line staging for git, designed for building clean commit history! Writing code is messy. Git history doesn't have to be. During development we experiment, refactor, backtrack, and fix mistakes. If every step ends up as a commit, the history becomes noise. A curated history turns that process into a clear sequence of logical changes. git-stage-batch helps you build that history incrementally by letting you stage changes hunk-by-hunk or line-by-line, shaping commits around meaning instead of the order the edits happened.

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…

giTshirt▲8The giTshirt story A little while ago, I decided I needed a way to commemorate my first SaaS. Sure, I had a 3D printed plate of its name, but that was not enough, I needed something more… While that thought lingered at the back of my mind, I saw a funny tweet showcasing ridiculous commit messages. I thought, “Hey! I have some stupid commit messages, let me go screenshot them and share them as a reply to that tweet.” Somehow the two thoughts connected. It instantly clicked: What if I could wear my stupid git commit messages? What if I put it on a T-shirt? A giTshirt… That would be the perfect…
