I built a free AI-powered Git CLI that writes your commit messages for you
David Chinwenmeri has developed a free AI-powered Git CLI tool called gritch that assists users in writing commit messages. The tool utilizes Groq's AI API to generate conventional commit messages, review code, and create changelogs directly from the terminal. It aims to address a common frustration among developers regarding the commit message process.

- ▪It can generate commit messages from staged changes, review code, and explain commits in plain English.
- ▪Users can install gritch globally via npm and require a free API key from Groq to use its features.
