Idea: 72 character limit and imperative mood about aicommits HOT 5 CLOSED

If you can engineer the prompt to phrase it imperatively, I'm open to accepting it.

Seems like this was resolved, closing! Also, unfortunately GPT-3 can't keep prompts under a specific character count.

Not sure what you mean by imperative mood.

The 72 commit message title character limit makes sense. I'm having difficulty engineering a GPT prompt that respects it.

Example prompt:

Write an insightful but concise Git commit message for the following diff in present tense, without prefacing it with anything, in under 72 characters:

diff --git a/package.json b/package.json
index 2a90a5a..297f01d 100644

Add "keyword" to project keywords and remove "typescript" dependency from package.json.

Commits should be in the format where you can say:

If I apply this commit, it will commit message

Examples:

Add x
Modify x
Add 72 character limit to generator

All git commands are in the imperative mood, and so should all commits. Commits are git commands when used.

Thankfully the AI seems to know about this already.

It seems it already does that for the most part so that part of my idea is redundant
