Finally! I’ve been waiting for this since forever.
Automatic Git commit messages are finally here in Windsurf — just one of the many amazing new AI features they’ve added in the new Wave 6 update that I’ll show you.
Incredible one-click deployment from your IDE, intelligent memory… these are huge jumps forward in Windsurf’s software dev capabilities.
1. One-click deployment with Netlify — super easy now
Okay this is a game changer.
They’ve teamed up with Netlify so you can literally deploy your front-end stuff with just one click right from Windsurf.
Literally no context switching. Everything stays in your editor.
Here we’re claiming the deployment to associating it with our Netlify account.
No more messing with all those settings and manual uploads.
With Wave 6 you just build your app, tell Windsurf to deploy, and it’s live instantly.
Just imagine the flow: you whip up a quick landing page with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript and instantly you reveal it to the world without even switching from your browser.
Your productivity and QOL just went up with this for real.
2. Conversation table of contents
Quickly jump back to earlier suggestions or code versions.
Super handy for those longer coding chat sessions.
3. Better Tab
They’ve upgraded Windsurf Tab inline suggestions once again to work with even more context.
Now it remembers what you searched for to give you even smarter suggestions.
And it works with Jupyter notebook now too:
4. Smarter memory
Windsurf already remembers past stuff but they’ve made it even better.
Now you can easily search, edit, and manage what it remembers — so you have more control over how the AI understands your project and what you like.
5. Automatic commit messages
Yes like I was saying — Windsurf can now write your Git commit messages for you based on the code changes.
One click, and it gives you a decent summary. Saves a bunch of time and helps keep your commit history clean.
6. Better MCP support
If you’re working in a bigger company, they’ve improved how Windsurf works with those Managed Code Providers.
7. New icons and much more
Just a little update among others — they’ve got some new Windsurf icons for you to personalize things up.
Also the ability to edit suggested terminal commands and much more.
This new one-click deployment could really shake things up for front-end development. — making getting your work out there so much faster and lets you focus on the actual coding.
As AI keeps getting better, tools like Windsurf are going to become even more important in how we build software.
Wave 6 shows they’re serious about making things simpler and giving developers smart tools to be more productive and creative. This new update could be a real game changer for AI-assisted development.
