What it does

👁️

Live diffs

Watches the working tree and updates as files change. No refresh.

⏩

Stream only what's new

Streaming mode skips what was already there and shows new hunks one at a time, stepped by hand or auto-advanced.

✅

Stage hunks or lines

Stage a whole hunk or pick individual lines, then commit in your git editor.

🔍

Review commits

Pick a recent commit and walk its hunks, marking each one accepted.
