Ever been stuck trying to come up with a concise, explanatory commit message for your git repository? If you're familiar with git, you know how crucial a good commit message can be—it's like a breadcrumb trail for future developers (or for you, when you've forgotten what you did at 2 AM three Tuesdays ago). But fret not, there's a new assistant on the block to help you with this sometimes tedious task: GitPoet.
GitPoet is a nifty AI-powered tool designed to take the pain out of writing git commit messages. This tool isn't just any ordinary bot; it's powered by the advanced capabilities of ChatGPT-3.5 and ChatGPT-4pro, ensuring that it delivers accurate and meaningful suggestions based on your git diff
