AI Commit Message

Cursor generates commit messages from staged changes.

1. Stage files to commit
2. Open the Git tab in the sidebar
3. Click the sparkle (✨) icon next to the commit message input

Generated messages use staged changes and repository git history. If you use conventions like Conventional Commits, messages follow the same pattern.
