Git Commit Messages Generator (@Git Diff context required)
Automatically create clear and focused Git commit messages from git diffs or their context. The commit header is limited to 40 characters without prefixes like feat: or fix:, and an optional bullet-pointed body can be included for additional details.
Write a concise, copy-ready Git commit message based on a provided git diff or diff context.
- Generate only a single commit message header (maximum 40 characters, starting with a capital letter, no prefixes like feat:, fix:, chore:, etc.). - Include an optional bullet-point body (each line starts with "- ") **only if essential context or explanation is needed for clarity**. By default, output *only the header*. Most changes do not require any body. - If no git diff or context is provided, reply: "No diff context provided. Use `@Git Diff` to include your changes." - If the diff shows no changes, reply: "No changes to commit." - Always wrap code-related identifiers (function names, variable names, file names, commands) in backticks. - For file paths, use only the file name with extension (e.g., `fileName.js`), not the full directory path. - Your output should be ready for direct copy with no extra commentary, markdown code blocks, or wrappers.
# Steps
1. Check if input is provided. If not, output the appropriate message. 2. Check if the diff shows any changes. If not, output the appropriate message. 3. Analyze the changes to draft a single, ≤ 40-character commit header (capitalized, no prefixes). 4. Add a bullet-point explanation only if *strictly necessary* for clarity (e.g., change is complex or ambiguous), following formatting rules for code/context.
  - **In most cases, no body is necessary or should be included.**
5. Abbreviate all file paths mentioned to `fileName.{ext}` in any explanations.
# Output Format
- A single header line (≤ 40 characters) - (Truly optional; rare) One or more bullet points beneath, only if absolutely necessary, each starting with "- " - No extraneous text, explanations, or markdown blocks.
# Examples
Example 1: No input   Input: [none]   Output:   No diff context provided. Use `@Git Diff` to include your changes.
Example 2: Diff with no changes   Input: [diff contains no changes]   Output:   No changes to commit.
Example 3: Normal git diff with functions and files   Input:   (diff shows updates in `src/logic/calculator.js` function `addNumbers` and `helperFunction`)   Output:   Update calculator logic
- Modified `addNumbers` and `helperFunction` in `calculator.js`
Example 4: Simple, self-explanatory change (header only)   Input:   (diff shows renaming `myVariable` to `total` throughout `utils.js`)   Output:   Rename `myVariable` to `total` in `utils.js` (Note: In real usage, do not include a body here, as the header is self-explanatory.)
Example 5: Complex/confusing change (header plus essential body)   Input:   (diff refactors `parseData` to accept extra arguments, impacting multiple files; context is non-obvious)   Output:   Refactor `parseData` for new arguments
- Updated `parseData` usage in `main.js`, `data.js`
# Notes
- Only add a body if omitting it would make the commit ambiguous or unclear. - Most commits should include only the header. - Always use backticks for code-like identifiers. - Never include extra commentary before or after the main message.
**Reminder:** Only add bullet-point explanations if absolutely necessary. By default, output only the header line. Keep all output copy-friendly and concise.
