Summary

GitLens 17.4 expands its preview Commit Composer feature from a one-step AI commit generator into an interactive drafting workspace for organizing and reviewing commits before they affect a repository. Developers can provide custom instructions, choose AI models, preview proposed commit groups and diffs, edit or regenerate messages, commit directly from the interface, or use it entirely manually without an AI provider. Accessible through several GitLens views and commands, the feature aims to reduce time spent on Git mechanics while supporting clearer histories, more effective reviews, and easier debugging. Built-in undo and reset controls emphasize safety, while planned enhancements include drag-and-drop hunk movement, creating and reordering draft commits, and recomposing existing branches.
