Label Your AI vs Human Code in Commit

Quick Tip for Better Team Collaboration

Since many teams already have their git commit practices, here’s a simple addition that makes a big difference:

AI-Generated Code:

Thore are good examples from my https://github.com/jellydn/moleculer-typescript-template/

In short, we should keep this as a convention for git.

[AI-Generated | Human Supervised]

Human-Written Code:

Here is the some example from my https://github.com/jellydn/tiny-nvim

[Engineer-Written]

Why Do This?

• Reviewers know what they’re looking at instantly

• Team learns from both AI and human approaches

• Builds trust in AI tools through transparency

• Creates clear accountability

Bonus Tip: Clean Up AI Comments

AI tools often generate redundant or overly verbose comments. Clean them up:

Remove:

// This function calculates the sum of two numbers
function add(a, b) {
    return a + b; // Returns the sum of a and b
}

Keep:

function add(a, b) {
    return a + b;
}

Only keep comments that explain why, not what.

Just Add It

If you’re already updating your commit standards, consider adding this. It takes 5 seconds per commit and saves everyone time during reviews.

Your team will appreciate the clarity.
