Commit messages are developer-written messages that document code changes. Such change might be adding features, fixing bugs or simply code updates. Although these messages help in understanding the evolution of any software, it is quite often that developers disregard the process of writing these messages, when making a change. Many automated methods have been proposed to generate commit messages. Due to the inability of those techniques to represent higher order understanding of code changes, the quality of these messages in terms of logic and context representation is very low as opposed to developer written messages. To solve this problem, previous work used deep learning models -specifically, sequence-to-sequence models- were used to automate that task. This model delivered promising results on translating code differences to commit messages. However, after the model's …
