Commitment is a small Cloudflare Worker that generates random commit messages.

https://whatthecommit.com/

Commitment also provides https://whatthecommit.com/index.txt which provides plain text output. Some interesting usage for that can be:

git config --global alias.yolo '!git commit -m "$(curl -s https://whatthecommit.com/index.txt)"'

Use category to select a message collection. legacy is the default and contains the original messages; database and ai provide the new themed collections.

https://whatthecommit.com/?category=database
https://whatthecommit.com/index.txt?category=ai
https://whatthecommit.com/index.json?category=legacy

Or use one of the following VSCode Extensions:

• WhatTheCommit
• yoloCommit

Requires Node.js 20.6 or newer.

npm install
npm run dev

The message and contributor data are compiled into TypeScript before development and deployment. Check the Worker configuration and types with:

npm run check

Deploy with the Make targets below after configuring local Cloudflare credentials.

Deploy credentials stay in the ignored .env file. Create it from .env.example, then set an account-scoped CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN with permission to edit Workers Scripts and its CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID.

make deploy

Useful deployment targets:

make build            # Regenerate message data
make check            # Type-check and validate the Worker configuration
make deploy/preview   # Build and perform a dry-run deployment
make deploy           # Build and publish the Worker

Use a different local credential file with make ENV_FILE=.env.local deploy.
