# How It Works

When you're ready to commit changes:

1. Stage your files in the Git panel
2. Click the sparkle (✨) icon next to the commit message field
3. Review the generated message and edit if needed
4. Complete your commit

The AI analyzes your recent code changes and creates a meaningful commit message that describes what you've done.

# Best Practices

For better results:

* Apply general best practices for commit scope: group together small, meaningful units of changes
* Review the message before committing

# Limitations

* Large or complex commits may result in more generic messages
* Specialized terminology might not always be captured perfectly
* Generated messages are suggestions and may need editing

# Privacy

Your code and commit messages remain private. We don't store your code changes or use them for training our models.
