Improper commit msg when there are multiple file changes stagged

Hello,

Awesome project and a useful tool!! Could I tackle this task? If so, could you give me some more context?

Question: What is AutoCommit using to determine and generate concise Commit Messages? Is AutoCommit analyzing the changes compared to the previous version to determine if they constitute added features, refactored code, or bug fix? I didn’t see this information in the README—apologies if I missed it.

Thanks!

Sure @HackedRico.

How It Works

It runs the git diff --staged command to gather all staged changes and processes them using a local LLM (default: llama3.2:3b provided by Ollama). The model analyzes the changes and generates a concise, context-aware commit message, ensuring privacy and avoiding external API dependencies.

Thanks, I completely missed that section. Could you elaborate more on what "improper messages" are and point me to the direction I should be looking at?

Sidenote: Adding an example output of running act gen to the README.md would be a nice touch.

@HackedRico sry I completely missed ur comment.
So whenever there are a lot of changes in multiple files, the act gen command gives me a complete explanation of the changes and suggests improvements.

Especially when a large file is deleted or created it gives a complete description.
Have a look:-
