Documentation

README

Excerpt

Split changes into semantic units and commit

Breaks big changes into small, meaningful commits with proper messages. Uses only standard git commands.

Usage

/semantic-commit [options]

Options

--dry-run: Show proposed commit splits without actually committing
--lang <language>: Force language for commit messages (en)
--max-commits <number>: Specify maximum number of commits (default: 10)

Basic Examples

# Analyze current changes and commit in logical units
/semantic-commit

# Check split proposal only (no actual commit)
/semantic-commit --dry-run

# Generate commit messages in English
/semantic-commit --lang en

# Split into maximum 5 commits
/semantic-commit --max-commits 5
