Purpose
This is a lightweight terminal user interface (TUI) designed for reviewing git diffs. It allows developers to navigate code changes and add inline annotations, outputting structured data to standard output so it can be easily piped into AI agents or other scripts.

Security Assessment
Overall Risk: Low
The tool's primary function is to read local git diffs and display them, meaning it naturally accesses your source code. However, it does not request any dangerous permissions, makes no external network requests, and contains no hardcoded secrets. A light code scan of 10 files found no dangerous patterns. It requires `git` to generate the diffs, but it does not execute arbitrary shell commands beyond its intended scope.

Quality Assessment
This is a well-maintained and structured project. It features CI testing, code coverage reporting, and a permissive MIT license. The repository received a push very recently (0 days ago), indicating active maintenance. While the community footprint is relatively small with 10 GitHub stars, the project is cleanly organized, relies on standard package managers like Homebrew, and follows good development practices.

Verdict
Safe to use.
SUMMARY

TUI for reviewing git diffs with inline annotations

README.md

revdiff Build Status Coverage Status Go Report Card

Lightweight TUI for reviewing git diffs with inline annotations. Outputs structured annotations to stdout on quit, making it easy to pipe results into AI agents, scripts, or other tools.

Built for a specific use case: reviewing code changes without leaving a terminal-based AI coding session (e.g., Claude Code). Just enough UI to navigate a full-file diff, annotate specific lines, and return the results to the calling process - no more, no less.

Features

  • Structured annotation output to stdout - pipe into AI agents, scripts, or other tools
  • Full-file diff view with syntax highlighting
  • Annotate any line in the diff (added, removed, or context) plus file-level notes
  • Two-pane TUI: file tree (left) + colorized diff viewport (right)
  • Hunk navigation to jump between change groups
  • Filter file tree to show only annotated files
  • Fully customizable colors via environment variables, CLI flags, or config file

Requirements

  • git (used to generate diffs)

Installation

Homebrew (macOS/Linux):

brew install umputun/apps/revdiff

Go install:

go install github.com/umputun/revdiff/cmd/revdiff@latest

Binary releases: download from GitHub Releases (deb, rpm, archives for linux/darwin amd64/arm64).

Usage

revdiff [OPTIONS] [ref]

Options

Option Description Default
ref Git ref to diff against uncommitted changes
--staged Show staged changes, env: REVDIFF_STAGED false
--tree-width File tree panel width in units (1-10), env: REVDIFF_TREE_WIDTH 2
--tab-width Number of spaces per tab character, env: REVDIFF_TAB_WIDTH 4
--no-colors Disable all colors including syntax highlighting, env: REVDIFF_NO_COLORS false
--no-status-bar Hide the status bar, env: REVDIFF_NO_STATUS_BAR false
--chroma-style Chroma color theme for syntax highlighting, env: REVDIFF_CHROMA_STYLE monokai

--dump-config Print default config to stdout and exit
-V, --version Show version info

Config File

All options can be set in a config file at ~/.config/revdiff/config (INI format). CLI flags and environment variables override config file values.

Generate a default config file:

mkdir -p ~/.config/revdiff
revdiff --dump-config > ~/.config/revdiff/config

Then uncomment and edit the values you want to change.

Key Bindings

Navigation:

Key Action
j/k or up/down Navigate files (tree) / scroll diff (diff pane)
h/l Switch between file tree and diff pane
left/right Horizontal scroll in diff pane
Tab Switch between file tree and diff pane
PgDown/PgUp Page scroll in file tree and diff pane
Ctrl+d/Ctrl+u Page scroll in file tree and diff pane
Home/End Jump to first/last item
Enter Switch to diff pane (tree) / start annotation (diff pane)
n/p Next/previous changed file
[ / ] Jump to previous/next change hunk in diff

Annotations:

Key Action
a or Enter (diff pane) Annotate current diff line
A Add file-level annotation (stored at top of diff)
d Delete annotation under cursor
Esc Cancel annotation input

View:

Key Action
f Toggle filter: all files / annotated only (shown when annotations exist)
q Quit, output annotations to stdout

Output Format

## handler.go (file-level)
consider splitting this file into smaller modules

## handler.go:43 (+)
use errors.Is() instead of direct comparison

## store.go:18 (-)
don't remove this validation

Claude Code Plugin

revdiff ships with a Claude Code plugin for interactive code review directly from a Claude session. The plugin launches revdiff as a terminal overlay (tmux, kitty, or wezterm), captures annotations, and feeds them back to Claude for processing.

Install:

# add marketplace and install
/plugin marketplace add umputun/revdiff
/plugin install revdiff@umputun-revdiff

Use: /revdiff [ref] — opens a review session. Annotate the diff, quit, and Claude will address each annotation.

The plugin supports the full review loop: annotate → plan → fix → re-review until no more annotations remain.

Integration with Other Tools

The structured stdout output works with any tool that can read text:

# capture annotations for processing
annotations=$(revdiff main)
if [ -n "$annotations" ]; then
  echo "$annotations" | your-tool
fi
