Show HN: Strudel – Generate commit messages via Apple's on-device LLM

https://github.com/Mechse/strudel

Strudel is a small cli tool which uses Apple's on-device LLM to write commit messages for you.

To give it a try install it and run it in a git repo with changes:

$ git add .

$ strudel

Shoutout to https://github.com/Arthur-Ficial/apfel, which gave me the idea.

Built with Claude's help as part of my journey learning Odin. Every line was hand-reviewed by me.
