this is literally the only thing I think is acceptable for AI to do for developers.

nobody reads commit history anyway and they always go straight to blame to find out who to kick the fuck out of.

And the blame has those commit messages. That is beside the fact that most authors may not even work there anymore

I don't even waste my time anymore frankly. people just do a git add . and git commit -m "did some stuff".

sorry, I've just worked with a lot of shitbag devs that honestly think of git as a flat filesystem that can't even properly branch or merge.

personally, I still put in clear commits and even do patch level adds. from what I have experienced though, using AI to generate those commit messages based on actual changes would be a godsend compared to the fuckery I've had to deal with.
