This is one of the very first times the program helped a user (me 😄) write a meaningful commit message.

🧭 Alternatives & Similar Tools

When I started building CommiZard, I made sure to look around. Guess what?

CommiZard isn’t the only wizard in town! 😊

If you’re exploring AI-powered commit tools, here are some other great projects worth checking out:

• easycommit: written in Go, supports Ollama models out of the box.
• aicommit: Packed with features — including a handy VS Code extension.
• AICommit2: The most complete FOSS option I've found

Why did I still follow through and build this?

Because I couldn’t find a tool that gave me both full user control and the little UX comforts I wanted.

So yeah. I built CommiZard for me… and maybe for you too!
