I built a CLI tool that leverages OpenAI to automatically generate concise summaries of git commit changes.
You can find the git-commit-summarizer npm package with installation instructions and usage details. The package helps developers:
- Quickly understand what changed in complex commits
- Generate clear, human-readable summaries of code changes
- Save time when reviewing pull requests or browsing commit history
- Create better commit messages with AI-assisted summaries
This CLI tool uses the OpenAI API to analyze diffs and provide context-aware explanations of code changes across multiple files and commits.
Install it with:
npm install -g git-commit-summarizer
The tool was published 10 months ago (v1.0.0) and remains a useful utility for git workflows.
UPDATE : I’m no longer using this tool for my git commits as this is now a native feature on Cursor IDE
