Git Diff View

Press Ctrl+G to open or close the git diff view. It shows changed files on the left and the diff on the right. By default the diff shows all changes relative to HEAD (both staged and unstaged); press t to cycle the scope between Both, Unstaged, and Staged. You can navigate hunks, stage and unstage files, create commits, discard changes, queue inline comments, and submit those comments back to the agent as a structured prompt.

The file-list header shows the active scope: Git Diff · Both, Git Diff · Unstaged, or Git Diff · Staged. The bottom help bar changes depending on which pane is focused.

Navigation

Key	Action
Tab / Shift+Tab	Move focus between the file list and diff pane
h / ←	In the diff pane, focus the file list; in the file list, collapse or move to parent
l / → or Enter	In the file list, expand/open the selected entry and focus the diff
j / ↓	Move down
k / ↑	Move up
g	Jump to top of the diff pane
G	Jump to bottom of the diff pane
PageDown / PageUp	Page through the diff pane
o	Toggle between the hunk-diff view and the full-file view (in the diff pane)
< / >	Resize the split panes
r	Refresh the diff
Esc	Close git diff view

Diff scope

Press t to cycle what the diff shows:

Scope	Comparison	Includes untracked files
Both (default)	HEAD → worktree	Yes
Unstaged	index → worktree	Yes
Staged	HEAD → index	No

The active scope is shown in the file-list header.

Staging and committing

Key	Action
Space	Toggle staging of the selected file or directory (stages unstaged entries, unstages staged ones; on a directory, applies to every file beneath it)
a	Stage all changes
A	Unstage all changes
C	Commit staged changes

C opens a commit-message composer at the bottom of the screen. Type a message and press Enter to create the commit, or Esc to cancel. You can only commit when at least one file is staged.

Discarding changes

Press d to discard changes to the selected file. A confirmation prompt appears — press y to confirm or n / Esc to cancel. Discard restores the file to its state in HEAD (for tracked files) or removes it (for untracked files).

Inline comments

Key	Action
c	Add a comment at the current diff location
Enter	Submit a comment while editing that comment
s	Submit all queued comments to the agent (from the diff pane)
u	Undo the last queued comment

1. Navigate to a diff line you want to comment on.
2. Press c to open the comment editor.
3. Type your comment and press Enter to queue it.
4. Add more comments if needed.
5. Press s from the diff pane to submit all queued comments.

All queued comments are sent as a single prompt to the agent, grouped by file and including the line number, line kind, line text, and your feedback. This lets the agent understand exactly which changes you’re commenting on.

Use case

The git diff view is designed for reviewing agent-generated changes. After the agent modifies files, open the diff to:

• See exactly what changed
• Stage the changes you want to keep and commit them directly
• Discard changes you don’t want
• Add targeted feedback on specific lines
• Request fixes to particular hunks without describing them in prose
