What does this tool do?
The Commit Message Generator helps you write clean, properly formatted git commit messages that follow the Conventional Commits standard. It's ideal for teams keeping a consistent history, projects using automated semantic releases, and developers still learning commit conventions.
How to use it
- Enter your configuration details.
- Review the generated output.
- Copy the ready-to-use code or file.
Building a Conventional Commit
Pick a type first: feat (new feature), fix (bug fix), docs, style, refactor, perf, test, build, ci, or chore. Add an optional scope (e.g. api, ui) and a short subject. The result is formatted as type(scope): subject. Add a longer body if you want more detail. The message previews live and copies to your clipboard with one click, ready to paste straight into your git commit command.
Breaking change and gitmoji options
Tick the "Breaking change" box to append a bang to the type (e.g. feat!:) and add a BREAKING CHANGE footer — this triggers a major version bump in semantic-release tooling. The "Add emoji" option prefixes each type with its matching gitmoji: ✨ for feat, 🐛 for fix, 📝 for docs, ⚡ for perf, and so on. Your history stays machine-readable while becoming easier to scan at a glance.
Frequently asked questions
What is Conventional Commits?
A standard for writing machine-readable commit messages in the form type(scope): subject. It makes automated version numbers and changelog generation possible.
What does the bang (feat!) mean?
A ! after the type marks a backward-incompatible change. This tool adds it when you tick the breaking change box, along with a BREAKING CHANGE footer.
Do I have to use gitmoji?
No. The Add emoji option is optional; leave it off to produce a plain, text-only Conventional Commits message.
