git-preflight

Simplifies the final self-review before committing changes to Git.

Features

  • View all uncommitted changes in a single, readable diff view
  • Syntax-highlighted diff with added/removed/unchanged lines
  • Auto-refresh when files are saved (if panel is visible)
  • Lazy refresh when panel becomes active (if changes occurred while hidden)
  • Single reusable panel — no clutter from multiple views

Usage

Trigger the command:

  • Command Palette: Git Preflight: Show Diff
  • Keyboard shortcut: Ctrl+Alt+R (Windows/Linux) or Cmd+Alt+R (macOS)

When to use

Run it right before you commit to catch accidental changes, debug leftovers, or forgotten TODOs.
