WTF Commit Message Generator
$0.00
Generates brutally honest commit messages when you genuinely don't remember what changed
- âś“ Zero cost and maximum relatability

#2 · Conventional Commits · Best Value
Conventional Commits with Uncertainty Flag
$0.00
Structured format that lets you admit confusion professionally: 'chore: something happened (??)'
- âś“ Still looks somewhat legitimate in logs
- âś“ Tools can parse it despite the uncertainty
- âś“ Teaches you to use `git add -p` next time
- âś— Doesn't actually explain what broke
#3 · Every Developer Ever · Most Overhyped
The 'Refactoring' Default Message
$0.00
When in doubt, claim you were 'refactoring'—it's vague enough to cover almost anything
- âś“ Sounds intentional and professional
- âś“ Covers everything from typo fixes to database migrations
- âś“ Works in standup meetings
- âś— Actual refactoring becomes impossible to track
- âś— Your teammates will know you're bluffing
#4 · Git Native
Detailed Blame Investigation Tool (git blame + git show)
$0.00
Skip the commit message entirely—let `git blame` and `git show` speak the truth in diffs
- âś“ The diff never lies, unlike your commit message
- âś“ Forces reviewers to actually read code
- âś“ Builds character through peer confusion
- ✗ High friction—everyone will ask 'why did you change this?'
- âś— Code archaeology becomes everyone else's job
#5 · Junior Developer Classics
The Timestamp-Only Commit Message
$0.00
Just the date and time—technically documents when the mystery occurred
- âś“ Accurate timestamp of your confusion
- âś“ Memorable in its uselessness
- âś“ Builds job security through mystique
- âś— Completely unhelpful six months later
- âś— Will be cited as an example of what NOT to do
- âś— May trigger automated commit message linters
