Review Pull Requests Without a Browser

53 seconds

Pick up a pull request in GitComet Pro, read it in GitComet’s diff, comment on a line, approve and merge it without opening a browser. Then see your coding agents in History and write a commit message with your own AI.

Watch with the written walkthrough

Steps shown in the video

Open Explore and select Pull requests. The queue lists the pull requests waiting for your review. Select one to read its description and conversation, then choose Review.
The pull request’s changed files open in GitComet’s diff. Press R to mark each file reviewed as you read it; the file list shows how many are done.
Select a line and press C to comment on it. Choose Save as draft to keep the comment on your device until you finish the review, or Comment to post it now.
Choose Finish review. With every file reviewed and one draft waiting, select Approve and finish. The verdict and the draft go to the forge together; finishing never merges.
Open the pull request’s Checks tab to confirm the checks passed, then merge it straight from GitComet.
In History, coding agent sessions appear next to the commits they touch, with their status. Right-click a session to bring it to the front, copy its resume command or open a terminal there.
Stage a change and use the spark in the commit message box. Its tooltip says what it sends and which provider answers; AI stays off until you switch it on.

Difftastic · New in 0.3.1

Diff the code, not the lines

A new wrapper or reformatted function can bury a small edit in a wall of red and green. GitComet’s built-in Difftastic engine compares code structure and highlights the tokens that changed. Review in split or inline view, with nothing extra to install.

Diff the Code, Not the Lines

37 seconds

Compare code structure with Difftastic, built into GitComet 0.3.1. See the changed tokens in a wrapped component, spot an edit in reformatted HTML and recognize formatting-only changes. Available in split and inline views, with no extra installation.

Watch with the written walkthrough

Steps shown in the video

Open the changed TSX component in the line-by-line diff. A new wrapper and indentation changes mark much of the component as changed.
Open the diff viewer’s cog and choose Difftastic under Diff engine. The highlights now focus on changed tokens while unchanged code stays readable.
Open the reformatted HTML file. Difftastic highlights the minimum password length changing from 8 to 12 amid the line wrapping.
Open the reformatted price-formatting function. GitComet reports No syntactic changes; text differs, with Show line changes available to inspect the text edits.
Press Ctrl+, to open Settings, select Diff and choose Difftastic under Diff engine to make it your default. It works in both split and inline views.

Interactive rebase

Rewrite history by dragging it

Right-click a commit to start an interactive rebase. Reorder commits by dragging them, then pick, reword, squash, fixup, or drop. Squash a range and preview the resulting message before you commit to it.

Rewrite History, Cleanly

38 seconds

Clean up a branch with GitComet’s interactive rebase editor. Fold fixup commits into their targets, reorder the remaining commits and replace an unclear commit message before completing the rebase.

Watch with the written walkthrough

Steps shown in the video

Open an interactive rebase for the feature branch from the commit actions menu.
Use autosquash to fold fixup commits into the commits they amend. Review the resulting sequence in the editor.
Drag commits into the order you want them to appear in the branch history.
Choose Reword for the vague commit message and continue the rebase. Enter a descriptive message when prompted and save it.
Review the completed branch history to confirm that the commits are ordered and named as intended.

Line staging

Keep each commit focused

A fix and a refactor can share a file without sharing a commit. Right-click a changed line or a selection to stage exactly what belongs together, and leave the rest for later.

See how staging works

Stage Only What Matters

48 seconds

Turn several edits in one file into focused commits. Select and stage just the fix, discard a debug line, and edit a remaining typo directly in GitComet before committing the rest.

Watch with the written walkthrough

Steps shown in the video

Select the changed lines belonging to the fix in the diff and stage only those lines.
Discard the leftover debug line while keeping the other intended edits.
Write a message for the staged fix and press Ctrl+Enter to commit it on its own.
Press Alt+E to edit the remaining typo in place. Press Ctrl+S to save the file and return to the diff.
Press Space to stage the remaining change, then commit it separately. The history now contains two focused commits.
