codestory: a tiny python cli for generating commit messages

codestory is an open-source CLI tool written in Python that leverages open source LLM to generate clear, semantic commit messages.

This talk will introduce the project, emphasizing its role in improving developer productivity and code comprehension through better commit practices. We'll explore how codestory makes it easier for developers to follow commit conventions, leading to more maintainable and understandable code histories.
