difit is a lightweight CLI tool that spins up a local web server to display Git commit diffs in a GitHub-like Files changed view. It supports comparing commits and branches, viewing GitHub PR diffs, adding review comments, and copying comments as AI prompts.

Use cases

• review local git commit diffs in a GitHub-style viewer
• compare two branches or commits side by side
• review uncommitted or staged changes before committing
• review GitHub pull requests locally with gh CLI
• copy review comments as prompts for AI coding agents
• run local code reviews without pushing to GitHub

When to choose

• you want GitHub-quality diff review for local commits without pushing
• you review code with AI agents and want comments exportable as prompts
• you need to inspect PRs or branch diffs offline in a browser

When to avoid

• you need full hosted code review with team collaboration and CI integration
• you only need a quick terminal diff, where plain git diff suffices
• your workflow requires GitHub Enterprise features beyond PR diff fetching
