Generate a commit message from an existing commit

[joeytwiddle]

Feature request

Allow us to pass a commit hash to aicommits so that instead of examining the staged changes, it would examine the patch of the specified commit, and generate a new commit message for that. For example:

$ aicommits --hash 890996f
or
$ aicommits --commit 8323072f5e13e8fad1ecc03a25653010afc723ae

Why?

This would mainly be useful for developers working on aicommits (who may have already made a commit, but want to see if they can coerce aicommits to do as well, or better, than their original commit message)

This might also be useful for someone considering a rebase on their own project.

Alternatives

Currently, I do something like git reset HEAD~ ; git add . ; aicommits which works, but is not ideal.

simpler workaround:

git rebase -x "git reset --soft HEAD^ && aicommits" ...

$ aicommits --hash 890996f
or
$ aicommits --commit 8323072
