A Terminal User Interface (TUI) application for reviewing Git changes locally.

• Review functionality: Mark files as viewed, comments that can be marked as resolved
• Review management: Create, list, delete and view and local Git reviews
• Modern TUI
• Local storage: SQLite database for managing review state and comments

For software architecure notes, see ARCHITECTURE.md.

Sometimes you might want to review the changes you made without opening a pull request yet. Or the Git server that your team uses might not have the user experience you would like to have when keeping track of the changes and what you already looked at. In any case, it's a nice project to work with Rust ;)

cargo install git-local-review
git-local-review

NOTE: This will create a ./tmp folder with an SQLite database and a log file.

For keybindings see KEYBINDINGS.md.
