# Smart Commit
|
|
|
|
Create meaningful conventional commits by analyzing your actual changes.
|
|
|
|
## Workflow
|
|
|
|
### Step 1: Assess the working tree
|
|
|
|
Run these commands to understand the current state:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
git status
|
|
git diff --stat
|
|
git diff --cached --stat
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Step 2: Handle unstaged changes
|
|
|
|
If nothing is staged (`git diff --cached` is empty):
|
|
|
|
1. Show the user what files have changed
|
|
2. Suggest what to stage based on logical grouping (e.g., "these 3 files are all related to the auth refactor")
|
|
3. Ask if they want to stage all, or select specific files
|
|
4. Stage the approved files with `git add <files>`
|
|
|
|
If changes are already staged, proceed to analysis.
|
|
|
|
### Step 3: Analyze the diff
|
|
|
|
Read the full staged diff:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
git diff --cached
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Determine the commit type from the changes:
|
|
|
|
| Signal | Type |
|
|
|--------|------|
|
|
| New files with new functionality | `feat` |
|
|
| New test files or test additions | `test` |
|
|
| Changes to existing logic fixing incorrect behavior | `fix` |
|
|
| Structural changes without behavior change | `refactor` |
|
|
| package.json, tsconfig, CI config changes | `chore` |
|
|
| Build/bundler config changes | `build` |
|
|
| README, docs, comments only | `docs` |
|
|
| Formatting, whitespace, semicolons only | `style` |
|
|
| Performance improvements | `perf` |
|
|
|
|
Determine the scope from the primary directory or module affected:
|
|
- `src/api/` -> `api`
|
|
- `src/components/auth/` -> `auth`
|
|
- `tests/` -> `tests`
|
|
- Root config files -> omit scope
|
|
- Multiple unrelated areas -> omit scope
|
|
|
|
### Step 4: Check for user overrides
|
|
|
|
If the user provided arguments via `$ARGUMENTS`:
|
|
- Single word (e.g., `fix`) -> use as commit type
|
|
- Two words (e.g., `refactor api`) -> use as type and scope
|
|
- Otherwise -> use auto-detected values
|
|
|
|
### Step 5: Compose the commit message
|
|
|
|
Format: `type(scope): imperative short description`
|
|
|
|
Rules:
|
|
- Subject line max 72 characters
|
|
- Use imperative mood ("add", "fix", "refactor", not "added", "fixes")
|
|
- Don't end with a period
|
|
- Body explains **WHY** this change was made, not what changed (the diff shows what)
|
|
- If changes are trivial (typo fix, formatting), skip the body
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
```
|
|
feat(auth): add JWT refresh token rotation
|
|
|
|
Tokens were expiring mid-session for users with slow connections.
|
|
Rotating refresh tokens extends the session without compromising
|
|
security, since each refresh token can only be used once.
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Step 6: Confirm and commit
|
|
|
|
Show the user the proposed commit message and ask for confirmation.
|
|
|
|
If confirmed, run:
|
|
```bash
|
|
git commit -m "<message>"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then verify with:
|
|
```bash
|
|
git log --oneline -1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Show the committed hash and message.
|
|
|
|
## Tips
|
|
|
|
- Run after completing a logical unit of work, not after every file change
|
|
- If the diff is too large for one commit, suggest splitting into multiple commits
|
|
- For breaking changes, add `!` after the scope: `feat(api)!: change response format`
|
|
- The body should answer "if someone reads this commit in 6 months, will they understand WHY?"
