Let your commit history tell its story using the power of AI
Every codebase’s commit history holds an untold story of progress, collaboration and evolution. DigestDiff helps you tell those stories—privately—with AI-driven tools which rely only on commit history, not code.
Hey folks, delighted to be here again! 👋
I was a freelance Software Engineer for many years and always found that the commit history of each new codebase I worked with told me a vital story about it. I dread to think how many hours I spent reading commit logs! I created a ChatGPT-powered suite of tools to help myself and others uncover stories which can be told from commit history alone - no code is ever accessed, let alone read or passed to ChatGPT. At present, Digest Diff has three distinct tools:
* Codebase overviews: detailed run throughs of a codebase's commit history, with contextual commit links
* Recaps: standup-style progress updates of what you did yesterday or last week
* Release notes: automated release notes between commits X and Y of a codebase
From a privacy perspective it was very important to me to go nowhere near any code, so all three tools exclusively leverage a repository's commit history and the output from each tool is never stored on our servers - only ever your browser or as a file if you choose to export it as one. Give it a go - I think you'll find the results surprisingly good!
