## What it is
commitgpt is a Node.js CLI tool that automatically generates commit messages using ChatGPT. It runs `git diff --cached`, sends the diff to the OpenAI API, and presents suggested commit messages following conventional commits.

## Use cases
- generate commit messages automatically from staged changes
- write conventional commit messages without thinking about format
- get multiple commit message suggestions for a diff
- customize the prompt template used for commit message generation
- speed up git commit workflow with AI suggestions

## When to choose
- you want AI-suggested commit messages from the terminal with a simple npx command
- your team follows conventional commits and you want consistent message formatting
- you want a customizable prompt template for commit generation

## When to avoid
- you don't want to send your code diffs to the OpenAI API
- you need an actively developed tool - the project appears to be in maintenance with no recent releases
- you prefer offline or local LLM-based commit message generation
- you need a GUI or editor-integrated commit assistant
