Genmoji is a website that uses the ChatGPT API to generate commit messages from code snippets or git diff. With Genmoji, developers can easily create informative and concise commit messages, using the gitmoji standard, without spending time and effort writing them themselves.
Using Genmoji is as easy as providing a git diff or code snippet and pressing the Generate button. It will attempt to derive a fitting commit message from the context and code provided.

You can nudge the model into providing a better suitable gitmoji or message by providing some additional context. It is completely optional and doesn't have to be thorough. It can even be a single word.
A simple example can be that when you see an incorrect gitmoji being used, you can nudge it in the correct direction by typing an important keyword like documentation which will then guide it into using :memo: as the correct gitmoji.
There is also a CLI version of Genmoji available. It can be used to generate commit messages from your staged changes.
