AI Commit Message Enhancement Features

Transform your messy Git history into professional documentation

Non-Destructive Documentation

A new documentation branch is created with your enhanced history, keeping your working commits separate. Perfect for sharing with clients and teams.

Fast Documentation Generation

Transform your entire project history into documentation in minutes, even for large repositories with hundreds of commits.

AI-Powered Documentation Enhancement

Our advanced AI automatically extracts implementation details, architectural decisions, and technical reasoning even when your original commits lack this information.

Private & Secure

Your code stays private. Only commit diff information is processed for documentation generation and is never stored afterward.

Multi-Repository Support

Document all your projects with consistent, professional messaging. Perfect for maintaining documentation standards across multiple repositories.

Documentation Management Service

Complete documentation management solution that automatically categorizes changes, tracks document versions, and organizes your technical documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Traditional documentation requires hours of manual writing, while RetCOM automatically generates comprehensive project documentation from your Git history. Our AI analyzes code changes to create detailed technical documentation, project reports, and API documentation that would take hours to write manually. Unlike tools like Swagger that only document APIs, RetCOM documents your entire project development process, explaining why changes were made and how they impact the system.

No. The enhanced documentation appears as your own professional writing. There are no watermarks or indicators that AI was used. The commits maintain your original authorship and timestamps—only the messages are improved to professional documentation quality. This creates the impression that you maintain exceptional documentation practices throughout your development process.

Absolutely. RetCOM requires 'repo' access (read and write) to your GitHub account to analyze commits and create enhanced branches, but your code remains private and secure. Only the commit diffs (what changed) are sent to our AI for documentation generation, and this data is never stored after processing. Our system is designed to maintain confidentiality and protect sensitive intellectual property.

RetCOM creates a separate branch with your enhanced documentation commits. You can provide the GitHub link to this branch directly to clients or team members. If you're using a private repository, you can add collaborators with read-only access to view the documentation. Many teams also conduct a walkthrough of the enhanced commit history as part of project handovers to highlight key architectural decisions and implementation details.
