Re:Have Gemini stage and write commit messages for you by rcxdude on Saturday February 01, 2025 @07:54PM (#42904342)
I don't particularly want a commit log at the top of every function, TBH. If I'm looking for the history and context of a change, I want to look at the commit log. If I want a description of the current version, I look in the docs (and yeah, sometime I can only piece together why something is the way it is now by looking through how it's changed. But documenting each change has a much better chance of addressing questions like "why did it work and now it doesn't" then trying to get the docs perfect will.)

If thats what you got from my comment then you misinterpreted it.

Nobody wants docs to look like commit messages. They want them to be relevant to the context.
