Diff Visualizer

A VSCode/Cursor extension to visualize file changes and commit history between Git branches.

Background

In Cursor 1.7 and earlier versions, there was a built-in feature to compare branches and view all file changes. However, this feature was removed in later versions. This extension was developed to bring back that functionality.

Features

• Branch Comparison: Select two branches and instantly see all file changes
• File Tree View: Display changed files in a directory structure with expand/collapse support
• Commit History Graph: Visualize commit history between branches with a graphical representation
• Quick Diff: Click any file to open VSCode's built-in diff view

Usage

1. Click the Diff Visualizer icon in the sidebar
2. Select the base branch and target branch
3. Browse the file changes list and commit history
4. Click a file to view detailed differences
