So, I don't always remember to tweet what I do, but commit my code often, and what do users love more than your product? Well, useful information about what they're going into, and updates, updates are important! Always let people know what you're doing with the product 💪
So I decided to make this small tool. Hopefully it'll be of use for somebody! 😎
Let me know what you think? Thanks!
Congrats on getting featured in the PH Daily email!
Uh, haven't received any mails from PH, I think I might be unsubscribed 😂 Though, thanks for telling! 💪
Lol. Just sent it to you to see.
Thank you so, so much! :D
Interesting.
How do you write your git commits? I find that the way I write my commits would not make that much sense as tweets: e.g. one of my recent commits had message "Add tap function", which was a debug helper function I added.
Moreover I try to follow somewhat this kind of format for my git commits:

So my commits are very small in nature, and only contain the smallest possible amount of code that makes sense to commit. This means one new feature usually is anywhere between 5 to 20 commits, depending on the size of the feature.
I suppose you use git some other way so this service makes more sense, and I'd be happy to hear how :)
I understand where you come from. I write my commits much like you. Though, this only takes the last paragraph of your commit, so you actually control when to tweet.
If you only have one commit message, it won't tweet anything. Easy.
So you'd use gitbird when you're pushing the last commit of an exciting new feature 👍 - By making another paragraph, either two new-lines in any editor or another
-min the cli.
