Writing a good commit message is time-consuming. With GitLens, you can use AI providers like OpenAI, Anthropic, or Gemini to generate a commit message based on your staged changes in git. If you go to Settings and modify the prompt, you can also convert the commit to a "Conventional Commit" format, which provides context and helps with automations like generating changelogs.
