critique helps developers review Git changes through an interactive terminal interface, with an option to inspect the same kind of patch in a browser. It is designed to make focused code review more comfortable than reading unformatted unified diff output.
The terminal workflow supports moving among changed files, identifying small edits within lines and keeping the review updated as files change. The web presentation provides a more familiar two-column display where screen space permits, while a narrower display can use a unified layout.
An interactive reviewer is especially useful when the same file contains a mixture of substantial changes and minor edits. File searching narrows the review to the relevant areas, while word-level highlighting helps show what actually changed inside a long line of source text.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Highlights source syntax in the terminal diff viewer and supported browser presentations.
- Provides side-by-side diffs on wider displays and a unified view when horizontal space is limited.
- Highlights word-level edits within modified lines.
- Includes quick file navigation with fuzzy searching.
- Offers a watch mode that refreshes the review as changes are made.
- Can generate HTML views of a patch for browser-based inspection.
- Allows line-number interaction to open a location in a configured editor.
- Includes an interactive cherry-pick workflow for selecting changes from another branch.
- Offers light and dark browser presentations that respond to system preferences.
