Why Smart Commit AI?
Writing good commit messages is the most boring, repetitive part of every developer's day. You know it. We know it. Most developers either:
- Write lazy messages like
"fix", "update", "stuff"
- Skip writing them altogether
- Spend 5+ minutes crafting the "perfect" message each time
