FinderGit 0.5.0 — Native AI commit messages, no setup ✨

Giovambattista Fazioli · 2026-05-04T01:56:07.359-07:00

If you've ever stared at the "Commit message…" field at 11 pm wondering how to summarize 14 file changes into a coherent line, this one's for you. FinderGit 0.5.0 ships with native AI commit-message generation — click ✨ AI next to the commit field, get a properly-formatted message back in about a second.What makes it actually useful:- ✅ Zero setup: no API key, no signup, no Homebrew, no pip install. - ✅ Configurable to your style: Conventional Commits, emoji prefix, professional / casual / friendly tone, short / normal / long body — plus a free-form Custom Instructions textarea ("never use 'leverage'", "always sign with — initials", "mention the issue number from the branch name")- ✅ Bullet-list bodies that read well — the de-facto OSS convention: subject line, blank line, - bullets each describing one change and its motivation- ✅ Privacy-conscious: diffs are not logged or stored, capped at 100 KB per requestPlus a few quality-of-life wins shipped together:- Stage All ↔ Unstage All toggle — the button flips when everything is already in the index- Sparkle update prompts now show release notes inline — no more naked DMG download links- A fix for a sneaky bug where typing Space in any text field was silently triggering Quick Look 😅Existing users on 0.4.x get 0.5.0 automatically via Sparkle within ~24 h.🔗 Release: https://github.com/gfazioli/findergit-website/releases/tag/v0.5.0🌐 Site: https://findergit.app📜 Full notes: https://findergit.app/release-notes/0.5.0.htmlCurious what the AI produces on your real commits? Try it and share examples in the thread — I'd love to see how the configurable tone/length feels in practice.

🏷️ FinderGit 0.31.0 — every tag, every release, and which side each one is actually on

FinderGit 0.31.0 is out and this one is about a quiet lie every Git tool tells you.

When you list your tags, you get the ones on your disk. Not the ones on the remote. So:

a tag you cut this morning and never pushed looks exactly like one everybody has
a tag a colleague pushed an hour ago just isn't there, and nothing tells you to look

🔑 FinderGit 0.39.0 — your own AI key, and the file that made your repo heavy

Three things I have wanted in a Git browser for a long time, and they all landed in the same release.

🗑️ FinderGit 0.32.0 — delete a tag everywhere, and the order it does it in

FinderGit 0.32.0 is out, and this one came entirely from using the thing on real data.

0.31.0 let you select many tags and act on them at once. Worked great until someone opened it on a repo with 715 tags, scrolled down to the release candidates from four years ago, selected three, and found that the bar with every action for that selection was several hundred rows above, off the top of the panel
