Count the files for multi-file changes

[MichaelCurrin]

e.g.

• update 3 files in foo
• update 16 files and delete 2 files

Relates to #13

Consider a threshold - maybe 4 files or less lists the names otherwise breaks out as counts

Or maybe check the length of the generated message and then fallback to generating the count one.

Any idea when this will be available?

I haven't though about this one for a while. I can find time this weekend.

If I make PR, would you be able to review it and/or try it out locally before the next release?

[glassesUSA]

Sure will do!

I have some work in progress on draft linked PR. So far handles exactly one file so not useful yet LOL. But following TDD with tests firsts and one file is the easiest to start with.

I'll update here when it's ready for review

@glassesUSA i made some good progress. I have a function that can generate

create 1 file, update 2 files and delete 1 file

I have two areas I'd like your input on. See if you agree and if there are any scenarios or behaviors that you want to suggest.

Conventional commit

How about the prefix before the message should always be feat if you add or update a file?

And if you only move or rename, it is refactor.

If you only delete files, then it is chore.

BTW I have an idea to implement pressing the button twice to go from feat to fix in a follow up. #50

When to count files

I was wondering when it makes sense to apply the create x files bit.

I'm thinking:

• the old functionality can be used if the changes are the same e.g. create 4 files then that remains create foo.js, bar.txt, fizz.js and buzz.js
• But whenever changes are mixed, then use the count approach. Like create 1 file and delete 2 files. This replaces the old "Various changes to x, y and z" message.
• and another use for count approach is if there are more than 4 files. e.g. create 5 files or delete 5 files.

The more than 4 is easy to do initially. I'm thinking later generate the named files and if the message is more than 50 characters then regenerate a message using counts. #49
