Focus DiffReview only the code that matters.
A small bar on every GitHub pull request. Pick a filter and the files, lines and time left follow it, then go to the next file or conversation in one click. No account: it uses the GitHub session already in your browser.
The Chrome Web Store version works in Edge, Brave, Arc and every other Chromium browser.
The 88-second tour, on public pull requests of withastro/astro.
One part of the pull request at a time.
Big pull requests stop being a wall of files. Filter to what you own, see what’s left, and move through it in order.
Filters from file paths
Each filter is a button with an Include and an optional Exclude regex. Keep them for every repository, or add some for one.
Counters that count again
Files changed and the added and removed lines show only what the filter keeps: the real size of your review.
Review time left
An estimate from about 1,000 changed lines an hour that drops as you mark files viewed, until it says Done.
A breakdown by filter
Every filter side by side: how many of its files you’ve viewed, the lines they change and the time they take.
The next file to review
One click, or Alt Shift J, to the next file you haven’t viewed, then on to the next filter.
Every conversation in turn
Step through the review threads with their file and line, and see which wait on you, are answered or resolved.
Your queue in the toolbar
The pull requests waiting on your review, how long each takes, and a review time that picks what fits.
Made to share
Copy your filters and send them to a teammate, who imports them in one step. Themes for the bar too.
