| Error | Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
No changes staged for commit | Nothing added to staging area | Run git add <files> to stage changes before generating the message |
Not a git repository | Working directory is not inside a git repo | Run git init or navigate to the repository root |
Ambiguous commit type | Changes span multiple categories (feature + fix) | Split into separate commits or use the primary intent as the type |
Scope unclear from file paths | Changes touch many unrelated directories | Use the most significant module or omit scope entirely |
Commit message exceeds 72 characters | Description too verbose | Shorten to the essential action; move details to the commit body |
