Local LLM notes

I am using ollama on Windows PC.

Generate git commit message

Uses qwen3-coder:30b:

Powershell:

git commit -am (ollama run qwen3-coder:30b "create a single line commit message for $(git diff)").Trim()

What’s interesting (perhaps not) is that when git diff is empty, it prints some boilerplate:

ollama run qwen3-coder:30b "create a single line commit message for $(git diff)"
"feat: add new feature to improve user experience"

PS C:\Users\amits\work\personal-gitea\therapy-counselling-profession> ollama run qwen3-coder:30b "create a single line commit message for $(git diff)"
"Add user authentication and authorization features"

Changing the prompt to this, helps:

ollama run qwen3-coder:30b "create a single line commit message for this git diff: $(git diff). If
no change is provided, print a message saying so"

Now, we see this when provided an empty git diff

I'd be happy to help you create a commit message, but I don't see any git diff provided in your request. Could you please share
the git diff you'd like me to analyze and create a single-line commit message for?

If you don't have a specific change to provide, I can show you what the message would look like in that case:

No changes provided - please supply a git diff to generate a commit message
