What is the Random Commit Message Generator?
Conventional Commits is a popular convention for writing Git commit messages in a structured way: a type, an optional scope in parentheses, a colon and a short description — for example feat(cli): add search filters. Tools can then read the history to build changelogs and decide the next semantic version automatically.
This generator produces random messages that follow that pattern, using common types such as feat, test, refactor, style and perf, scopes like ui, auth, docs and deps, and realistic descriptions such as “improve image loading”. Switch off “Include scope” for the shorter type: description form. You can create up to 50 messages per batch.
Use the output to populate demo repositories, test commit-lint rules, exercise changelog generators or fill screenshots of Git tools. The messages are generated in your browser and are deliberately generic, so they work as sample data — for your real work, describe what actually changed, so your history stays useful to your team.

Common Conventional Commits types
feat adds a feature and fix repairs a bug — these map to minor and patch releases. refactor restructures code without changing behavior, perf improves performance, test adds or updates tests, docs touches documentation and style covers formatting. A breaking change is marked with an exclamation mark after the type or a BREAKING CHANGE footer.
Writing good messages
Use the imperative mood (“add”, not “added”), keep the subject line short and explain the why in the body. Press Generate again for a fresh set — it’s free and unlimited.
Frequently asked questions
What is the Conventional Commits format?
It is a convention where each message starts with a type, an optional scope in parentheses and a colon, followed by a short description, such as fix(auth): handle expired tokens.
Can I generate messages without a scope?
Yes. Switch off “Include scope” to get messages in the shorter type: description form.
Should I use these for my real commits?
They are best used as sample data and examples. For real commits, write a message that describes the actual change.
How many commit messages can I generate at once?
Up to 50 per batch.
