    During software maintenances tasks, commit messages are an important source of information, knowledge, and documentation that developers rely upon. However, the number and nature of daily activities and interruptions can influence the quality of resulting commit messages. This formal demonstration paper presents ChangeScribe, a tool for automatically generating commit messages. ChangeScribe is available at http://www.cs.wm.edu/semeru/changescribe (Eclipse plugin, instructions, demos and the source code).
