Git Commit with Conventional Commits

Overview

Create standardized, semantic git commits using the Conventional Commits specification. Analyze the actual diff to determine appropriate type, scope, and message.

Conventional Commit Format

<type>[optional scope]: <description>

[optional body]

[optional footer(s)]

Commit Types

Breaking Changes

# Exclamation mark after type/scope
feat!: remove deprecated endpoint

# BREAKING CHANGE footer
feat: allow config to extend other configs

BREAKING CHANGE: `extends` key behavior changed

Workflow

1. Analyze Diff

# If files are staged, use staged diff
git diff --staged

# If nothing staged, use working tree diff
git diff

# Also check status
git status --porcelain

2. Stage Files (if needed)

If nothing is staged or you want to group changes differently:

# Stage specific files
git add path/to/file1 path/to/file2

# Stage by pattern
git add *.test.*
git add src/components/*

# Interactive staging
git add -p

Never commit secrets (.env, credentials.json, private keys).

3. Generate Commit Message

Analyze the diff to determine:

• Type: What kind of change is this?
• Scope: What area/module is affected?
• Description: One-line summary of what changed (present tense, imperative mood, <72 chars)

Language: Use Chinese (简体中文) for commit messages.

AI-GEN Footer: Add a footer line to indicate AI-generated code percentage:

AI-GEN: <percentage>%/<lines>行 <model-name>

• <percentage>: Percentage of AI-generated code in this commit
• <lines>: Number of lines changed by AI
• <model-name>: The AI model used (e.g., glm-5, Claude Opus 4.6)

Example:

AI-GEN: 100%/3行 glm-5

4. Execute Commit

# Single line
git commit -m "<type>[scope]: <description>"

# Multi-line with body/footer (Chinese, with AI-GEN)
git commit -m "$(cat <<'EOF'
<type>[scope]: <中文描述>

<可选的详细说明>

AI-GEN: <占比>%/<行数>行 <模型名>
EOF
)"

Best Practices

• One logical change per commit
• Present tense: "add" not "added"
• Imperative mood: "fix bug" not "fixes bug"
• Reference issues: Closes #123, Refs #456
• Keep description under 72 characters
• Use Chinese (简体中文) for commit messages
• Include AI-GEN footer to indicate AI-generated code percentage

Git Safety Protocol

• NEVER update git config
• NEVER run destructive commands (--force, hard reset) without explicit request
• NEVER skip hooks (--no-verify) unless user asks
• NEVER force push to main/master
• If commit fails due to hooks, fix and create NEW commit (don't amend)
