Hunk is a review-first terminal diff viewer (TUI) for reviewing complete changesets from Git, Jujutsu, and Sapling, with syntax highlighting, split/stack layouts, and themes. It renders inline AI/agent annotations beside the code they explain and supports pager, difftool, and extension workflows.

Use cases

  • review agent-authored code changes in the terminal
  • view git diffs with syntax highlighting and split view
  • use as a git pager or difftool
  • read inline AI agent comments next to the code they explain
  • review working tree, commits, stashes, and patches
  • navigate large multi-file changesets with keyboard shortcuts
  • customize diff viewer themes and layout

When to choose

  • you review AI/agent-generated changesets and want rationale beside the code
  • you want a fast, modern terminal diff viewer with themes and mouse support
  • you need a git pager/difftool replacement with a multi-file review stream
  • you use Git, Jujutsu, or Sapling and want a unified review UI

When to avoid

  • you need GUI or web-based code review with PR workflows (e.g. GitHub review UIs)
  • you only need plain unified diff output in scripts
  • you require IDE-integrated diff tooling rather than a terminal app
