Commit Message Generator

For the lazy...<p><a href="https://github.com/ngerakines/commitment/blob/master/commit_messages.txt" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/ngerakines/commitment/blob/master/commit_...</a>

I set this in my .profile file a while ago:<p><pre><code> alias gca='git add -A; git commit -a -m "`curl -s http://whatthecommit.com/index.txt`"'</code></pre>

This is funny. But the reason that this is funny is because people actually say these things in commit messages. I mean, "updates" is a commonly used commit message for a colleague I work with. It makes me want to cry.

For your ~/.gitconfig:<p><pre><code> wtc = !git commit -m \"$(curl -s http://whatthecommit.com/index.txt)\"</code></pre>

For your ~/.profile (or whatever): curl --connect-timeout 1 <a href="http://whatthecommit.com/index.txt" rel="nofollow">http://whatthecommit.com/index.txt</a>

Does anyone else ever use "WIP" for work in progress? :)

use <a href="http://whatthecommit.com/index.txt" rel="nofollow">http://whatthecommit.com/index.txt</a> to pull just the text for a commit message.

Very funny, may just check this out for some inspiration every once in a while. :)

I love it! May I ask how these are generated?
