DiffHub

A cmux git diff viewer for reviewing a whole branch, with inline comments you can hand to an agent

Run one command inside any git repository and DiffHub serves a GitHub-style diff of your working tree at localhost:2047.

Demo

Browse any public GitHub pull request in the hosted viewer, with nothing installed.

DiffHub reviewing a branch

Install

npm install -g diffhub

Or run it without installing: npx diffhub@latest.

Quickstart

Run inside any git repository.

# Review the current branch in a cmux browser split
diffhub cmux

# The same viewer in your default browser
diffhub

# Compare against a different base branch
diffhub cmux --base develop

# Review a repository in another directory
diffhub cmux --repo ~/Code/mblode/cmux

The default view is touched: HEAD versus the working tree, including untracked files. Merge-base scopes (all, committed) are available from the status bar, and --base still selects the comparison branch, preferring origin/main so unpushed commits show up. A watcher marks updates available; press r to refresh. diffhub cmux uses a repo-derived port in 20000–29999 instead of 2047.

For a complete review loop, see Review agent-written code in cmux.

Notes

  • Node.js 20.11+ or Bun 1.0.23+, and a git repository (git rev-parse --show-toplevel must succeed).
  • cmux mode expects cmux.app installed on macOS at /Applications/cmux.app.
  • Comments live in .git/diffhub-comments.json in the repository you are reviewing, and copy out as a markdown review prompt for a coding agent.
