    if (error) {

    }

    const openai = new OpenAI({
        apiKey: process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY,
    });

    const chatCompletion = await openai.chat.completions.create({
        messages: [{ role: "user", content: `Based on the following pending git changes, please create a verbose, well structured, and intelligent conventional commit message: ${stdout}` }],
        model: "gpt-3.5-turbo",
    });

    console.log(chatCompletion.choices[0].message.content);
});
