v1.0.0 - Initial Release

🚀 Initial Release

Smart Commit is a small CLI that helps you write clean, consistent git commit messages without friction.

This first release focuses on doing one thing well: generating readable commit messages from your staged changes, then letting you review them before anything is written to history.

✨ What’s included

• 🧠 Generates commit messages using an LLM via llm
• 📦 Automatically stages changes (git add .)
• 🔖 Extracts issue keys from branch names (e.g. Linear-style branches)
• ✍️ Uses imperative mood with short, scannable subject lines
• 🎯 Adds optional emoji prefixes for quick visual parsing
• 👀 Shows a preview and lets you confirm, edit, or cancel before committing

🚫 What it is not

• ❌ No git hooks
• ❌ No background automation
• ❌ No lock-in or hidden state

Just a better git commit, when you ask for it.

🧪 This is an early release. Feedback and issues are welcome.
