Commit From Changes

Name

commit-from-changes:commit-from-changes

Synopsis

Stage and commit changes with a Kubernetes-style commit message.

Description

Generates a commit for the current changes following Kubernetes commit message conventions. Stages all changes if nothing is staged, reviews the diff, and produces a commit message with a capitalized imperative subject line under 72 characters and a body that explains the reason for the change.

Implementation

Generate a commit for the current changes following these rules:

1. Run git diff --cached --stat and git diff --stat to understand what has changed. If nothing is staged, stage all changes with git add -A.
2. Run git diff --cached to review the full staged diff.
3. Generate a commit message in Kubernetes style:
   • Subject line: start with a capitalized imperative verb (e.g., Fix, Add, Update, Remove, Refactor)
   • Subject line should be concise (under 50 characters) and describe WHAT changed
   • If the change is scoped to a specific component or package, prefix with it (e.g., "pkg/controller: Fix race condition in queue processing")
   • Add a blank line after the subject
   • Body should explain WHY the change was made if not obvious from the subject
   • Wrap body lines at 72 characters
4. NEVER use Co-authored-by in any commit messages
5. Do not use GitHub keywords that automatically close issues (e.g., "Fixes #123", "Closes #456") or @mentions in commit messages
6. Show the generated commit message to the user and ask for approval before committing
7. Commit with the approved message using git commit
