🎯 Why DiffScribe?

The Problem

When AI assists with coding, getting another AI to review the changes is powerful but tedious. You need to manually copy git diffs, format them properly, and provide context for code review.

The Solution

DiffScribe bridges this gap with one-click git diff export:

• Universal AI Compatibility: Works with ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, GPT-4, Grok, Copilot, and any LLM
• No MCP Setup Required: Unlike MCP tools, works instantly with all AI platforms
• Mobile-Friendly: Review code changes on your phone via any AI chat app
• Smart Context Management: Perfect with Repomix – provide initial codebase context, then use hunks mode for efficient incremental AI reviews
• AI-Optimized Markdown: Git diff format designed for maximum LLM comprehension

🚀 Key Features

• Export Commit Diffs: Export selected commits as Markdown files
• Export Staged Changes: Export currently staged changes as Markdown
• Two Output Modes:
  • Full-context mode: Shows complete file content with diff highlighting
  • Hunks-only mode: Shows only changed lines (+/-) to save space
• File Metadata: Includes file status, language detection, rename info
• Binary File Handling: Automatically detects and summarizes binary files
• Bilingual Support: English/Korean interface
