GitHub style split diffs in your terminal

In plain words

GitHub style split diffs in your terminal is a developer tool that displays code differences in a split-view format similar to GitHub's interface, but runs directly in the terminal. It's designed for developers who want to review code changes without leaving their command line environment. The tool presents additions and deletions side-by-side for easier comparison of modified files.

  Deff – Side-by-side Git diff review in your terminalFeb 2026 · github.com · ▲120

  deff is an interactive Rust TUI for reviewing git diffs side-by-side with syntax highlighting and added/deleted line tinting. It supports keyboard/mouse navigation, vim-style motions, in-diff search (/, n, N), per-file reviewed toggles, and both upstream-based and explicit --base/--head comparisons. It can also include uncommitted + untracked files (--include-uncommitted) so you can review your working tree before committing. Would love to get some feedback

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
