output example

git-agentperf(query): replace N+1 user lookup with single batched query

- collect user IDs from the result set before rendering
- fetch all users in a single WHERE id IN (...) query via UserLoader
- remove per-row db.findUser calls from the template loop

The previous template iterated 50 rows and issued one db query each;
the batched loader drops that to a single round-trip regardless of
result set size.

FAQ

Does czg support the same LLM providers as git-agent?

czg supports OpenAI for AI generation. git-agent supports any OpenAI-compatible endpoint including OpenAI, Gemini, Claude, and self-hosted models.

Is czg's TUI experience better for developers who prefer interactive tools?

czg's TUI is polished for manual input. git-agent is faster for most commits because it generates the full message without prompting, but you can always edit the draft before it commits.

Does git-agent support emoji in commit messages like czg?

git-agent focuses on plain-text Conventional Commits without emoji. If your team convention requires Gitmoji prefixes, you can add them via a custom prompt in your config.
