Commit Message Prompt Generator

Generates a random example commit message in the conventional-commit style (fix:, feat:, docs:, etc.) — a format example for practising the convention, not a real commit from any project.

Seed (optional)

The same word, at the same settings, gives the same result. It goes into the address when you generate, so a copied link opens with the word in the box. A seed is for repeatability, not secrecy.

Don't repeat what I've already seen

Your result will appear here.

What you'll get

This generator draws from a hand-checked list of 10 entries. Here is a spread of 6 of them, so you can see the style before you generate:

fix: resolve null pointer on empty cart
feat: add dark mode toggle to settings
refactor: extract validation logic into helper
chore: bump dependency versions
style: reformat according to linter rules
fix: correct timezone handling in date picker

A fixed sample of the list, not a live draw — your own results are picked at random from all 10, without repeating until the list runs out. Original HEKNO-curated conventional-commit-style example message formats. Last reviewed 2026-09-01.

How to use this tool

Press generate for a commit message example.
Generate again for another one.

Understanding the controls

Seed (optional): A word here brings back the same example, out of the ten in the bank, for as long as the generator is unchanged. Leave it blank for a fresh draw on each press. A seeded draw puts the word in the page address, so the copied link hands a colleague the box already filled in and the identical message on the next press. A seeded draw is predictable by design, not cryptographic.

Common use cases

Practising conventional-commit conventions
Teaching commit-message style
Documentation examples

Limitations and good to know

Only ten example messages are in the bank, and the page shows all ten before any repeat — this illustrates the conventional-commit format, not a source of text to commit as-is.

Practical tips

Say why rather than what; the diff already shows what changed, and the reason is what a reader six months later needs.
Keep the first line under about fifty characters so it reads properly in a log listing.

Entries are chosen with your browser's cryptographic random number generator, so every entry on the list is equally likely. How Generate Random works.
