Never write a commit message again: Thanks GitHub Copilot

[@Arcadenut1]

So far my experience with the auto generated commit messages has been more miss than hit.. A lot of times it's completely wrong. It's far easier to do it by hand still.

Can you get an AI to generate your custom commit message template?

[@julianocs87]

Is it really that troublesome to write a simple message to a commit? Do we really need AI to do this for us?

[@BigBlueRabbit]

My thoughts entirely

If you create a sub branch for every change, you don't need a commit message. the branch name tells you what you are working on.

You may change more things in your ticket / feature branch, and commit messages are great way to generate your change log. Also one commit per branch doesn't seem like a workflow most people will use without having to rebase everything at some point.

so this isn't for vs code?

[@victornoagbodji]

Is this available in VS Code?

Thanks for the video! I tested it here, and you can also specify the language you want the messages to be generated in (PTBR in this case).
