Copilot Git Review

A VS Code extension that helps developers quickly send their git diff to Copilot Chat for code review and suggestions.

Quick Start

1. Install the extension from the VS Code Marketplace
2. Open a git repository in VS Code with local changes
3. Press Cmd+Shift+D (macOS) or Ctrl+Alt+D (Windows/Linux) to send your diff to Copilot Chat
4. Review suggestions from Copilot Chat

Demo

Features

• 🚀 One-click code review: Send your git diff to Copilot Chat instantly
• 🎯 Smart branch detection: Automatically finds your main branch or let you customize it
• 📋 Optional spec input: Add context or acceptance criteria for more relevant suggestions
• 👀 Preview option: Review your diff before sending to Copilot Chat
• ⚙️ Configurable: Set your preferred base branch in VS Code settings

Commands

Configuration

Configure the extension via VS Code settings:

{
  "copilotGitReview.mainBranch": "main"
}

• copilotGitReview.mainBranch (string): The default base branch to diff against (e.g., main, master, or origin/main). Leave empty to be prompted on first use.

How It Works

1. Collects the git diff relative to your main branch
2. Allows you to add optional context (spec/requirements)
3. Optionally previews the diff before sending
4. Sends the formatted diff to Copilot Chat
5. Receive code review feedback directly in the Chat interface

Requirements

• VS Code 1.85.0 or later
• Copilot Chat extension installed
• Git repository with local changes
• Git CLI available on your PATH

Privacy & Security

• The extension only collects the git diff from your repository
• No other files are automatically uploaded
• Avoid including sensitive data in your diffs
