CommitSense is a blazing-fast, lightweight VS Code extension that automatically generates meaningful, Conventional Commits-formatted Git commit messages based on your staged changes. No AI configuration required—just smart, rule-based heuristics that run instantly on your machine.
✨ Features
⚡ Instant Generation: Analyzes your git diff and generates messages locally in milliseconds.
🎯 Smart Domain Detection: Automatically recognizes the domain of your work (e.g., auth, payment, api, db, ui) based on file paths and code content.
🔀 Unstaged Fallback: Forgot to stage your files? CommitSense will gracefully offer to generate a message from your unstaged working tree changes instead.
🚀 One-Click SCM Integration: Generate messages directly from the Source Control (SCM) view using the new Commit icon in the title bar.
⌨️ Keyboard Shortcuts: Trigger generation instantly with Ctrl+Alt+C (Windows/Linux) or Cmd+Alt+C (Mac).
🔄 Commit & Push Workflow: After committing, CommitSense can optionally prompt you to push directly to your remote branch.

There are three ways to use CommitSense:
Source Control Panel: Click the Generate Commit Message(git-commit) icon in the top right of the Source Control view.
