Show HN: CommitGenius – AI-Powered Commit Messages with Zero Setup

1 points by bannawandoor27 9 hours ago

Hey HN,

I built *CommitGenius*, a CLI tool that generates commit messages based on your code changes—completely offline using local LLMs (via [Ollama](https://ollama.ai)).

### Why? I got frustrated while writing commit messages during a coding session. Instead of wasting time, I took a quick 20-minute break, fired up *Windsurfer IDE*, and built this tool. Sometimes, the best solutions come from just scratching your own itch!

### What It Does - Analyzes your staged code changes to understand what you've done - Generates clean, conventional commit messages that actually make sense - Works 100% offline—no cloud dependencies, no context switching - Minimal setup—just install and run

### Quick Start ```bash cargo install commitgenius git add . cmgenius ``` Example output: `feat(auth): improve JWT token validation and error handling`

Would love to hear your thoughts—any feedback or ideas to improve it? Also, what’s the most useful tool you’ve built in a single coding session?
