Introducing: Commit Summaries

FreshBSD has always been about helping people to better understand the ever-changing BSD ecosystem. Offering a searchable database of every change to a cornucopia of projects, it’s not just a website⸻it’s a way of connecting to the work of thousands of amazing developers around the world 🚀🌍🌎🌏

We’re now making this connection more literal than ever, with perhaps the most important feature we’ve ever delivered: commit summaries.

From today, next to every commit, you will now find a button labelled ‘✨’⸻simply tap it, and within seconds you will receive a detailed, hand⸻crafted summary of any change to any project indexed by FreshBSD, typoed out in real⸻time, just for you. 😍

We’re really hoping this idea catches on with developers everywhere. We may be used to soulless machines describing patches to us, but with modern technology and bit of human ingenuity, it’s no longer the only way.
