Interactive terminal diff reviewer

Website · Documentation

Features

• Line and range annotations — comment on a single line or select a range and annotate the whole block.
• Hunk and file navigation — jump between hunks, annotations, and files without leaving the keyboard.
• PR mode — review every commit between a branch and HEAD with --against.
• Markdown export — export annotations to revu-review.md, with an optional AI context header, by pressing e.
• Persistent reviews — annotations autosave to .revu.json and survive across sessions.
• Themeable — switch theme and view mode from an in-app settings panel, saved to your user config.
