24 alternatives to A tool that lets you reorder the changes in GitHub PRs

A few friends and I noticed that many PRs are easier/quicker to review if the changes are reviewed in some order other than alphabetical by filename (which is the default in Github). So, we'd often write our PR descriptions to include a suggested review order: "review file xyz.py first, then abc.js, then foo.rs". We did this often enough that we built a chrome extension that lets us reorder diffs in the Github PR UI rather than needing to type out the suggested order in the description. Anecdotally, we've noticed that using this tool to reordering diffs makes it much easier for…

    GitHired▲360

    Hey HN - today I’m launching GitHired. A hiring platform that ranks developers based on what they actually build — not what they claim on a PDF. It’s called GitHired, and here’s the core idea: GitHub > Resumes Instead of trusting “proficient in React” bullet points, we analyze a candidate’s actual GitHub: their real tech stack their most complex projects how active they are what kinds of contributions they make which skills match your job description and yes, we detect fake “green square farming.” Why we built this Because engineering hiring is broken. Resumes are inflated. Activity charts…

    I've found it helps PR reviewers when they can look through a set of commits with clear messages and logically organized changes. Typically reviewers prefer a larger quantity of smaller changes versus a smaller quantity of larger changes. Sometimes it gets really messy to break up a change into sufficiently small PRs, so thoughtful commits are a great way of further subdividing changes in PRs. It can be pretty time consuming to do this though, so this tool automates the process with the help of AI. The tool sends the diff of your git branch against a base branch to an LLM provider. The LLM…

    Hey again HN. Isaac and I originally released a voice-first code review tool, but have since open-sourced it and turned it into just a better way to review your and your team's Github PRs. Main things we've heard that make code reviews slower are: 1) PRs are too big and overwhelming 2) Need to jump around to find the right context and relevant code 3) Need to spend time thinking (should not be a thing since AI exists), and writing comments What we built to address these: 1) PRs are split up into sub-PRs without needing to actually split them up and stack them yourself -> Automatically done…

    Hi HN! We were frustrated with text diffs on GitHub PRs, so we made DiffLens (https://github.com/marketplace/difflens). DiffLens constructs an Abstract Syntax Tree for each file, and uses that semantic information to intelligently diff changes. Checkout the demo on our website (https://www.difflens.com). Getting started with DiffLens is easy! Simply install the app on your repositories. The next time you open a PR, DiffLens will automatically create a diff for your changes. If you review code, especially TypeScript, JavaScript or CSS, give DiffLens a try! We're…

    Hi HN, I’m Valentin, a developer who’s found code reviews to be a slow process, especially after context switching or juggling different projects and languages. Even reviewing my own code can be tough when I’ve lost the thread or just need a fresh perspective. Over the past few weekends, I built GitReviewed to make PR reviews faster, smarter, and genuinely useful for real teams. What it does: - Reviews any GitHub or GitLab pull/merge request with AI-powered comments, spotting security issues, code patterns, typos, and more - Posts comments as you (not a bot), so feedback fits naturally…

    Pipe the output of a `diff` command to Diffswarm to get back a persistent URL that contains the diff with workflow, comments, search, etc. Basically some of the helpful features that Github offers on PR diffs, just available for any arbitrary diff. I wrote this tool to use at work for documenting snapshot diff triaging, and also used it to help with the same thing on a couple Ty PRs. Example: https://diffswarm.dev/d-01k2gknwyq82f6x17zqf3apjxc

    I was frustrated with how bad a signal of progress through a big PR "Files viewed" was, so I made a "Lines viewed" indicator to complement it. Designed to look like a stock Github UI element - even respects light/dark theme. Runs fully locally, no API calls. Splits insertions and deletions by default, but you can also merge them into a single "lines" figure in the settings.

    Hey HN, Every team I've been on has cobbled together some sort of combination of GitHub branch protections and custom scripts to make sure that PRs conform to organization policies and best practices. Things like: - When {X} file is changed, require review from team {Y} - When a new db migration is added, ensure that a special set of tests pass - Require multiple approvals when the PR is very large - Add a special label to PRs that include breaking changes - Allow emergencies / hotfixes to break glass and bypass all of the above Most teams tend to start out with a little script running…
