## What it is
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
