What this helps you do
Inspect working-tree and staged patches in unified or split form before acting.
Find it in GitGlow
Open a repository and choose Changes.
Before you start
Free for trusted local repositories. Text patches above the bounded renderer limit and unsupported files remain whole-file only.
Steps
- Choose a file under Conflicts, Staged, Unstaged, or Untracked.
- Switch Unified or Split and optionally toggle whitespace.
- Use previous and next file controls or open File history for deeper context.
Expected result
The diff identifies the exact working-tree or index state and exposes only valid actions.
