SmartCommit

Note that this repo just serves as a demo GUI with maintenance suspend, SmartCommit-UI privately lives as a proprietary industrial project inside company since 2020.

SmartCommit aims at making "code commit" an elegant and decent daily work for developers.

As advocated by many communities (e.g., Git official doc, Angular contribution instructions) and companies (e.g., Google's engineering practices), developers are encouraged to submit cohesive and self-contained commits, accompanying with clear and informative commit messages.

SmartCommit is the assistant for you to follow this best practice.

Specifically, it helps you to:

• Organize your local changes into groups, each of which is expected to focus on one specific task.
• Review and stage fine-grained code changes within an intuitive GUI, in the forms of code hunks or files.
• Commit and push multiple commits with one single click, saving the effort to type git-status, git-diff, git-add, git-commit and git-push commands.

This repo is the frontend GUI client of SmartCommit, check the SmartCommitCore repo for the change decomposition suggestion algorithm.
