Commit diff

Pick a commit or a range and review the change by its shape.

Choose what to compare

On a project with git history, pick a commit — or a range — from the commit controls above the map. Lightwell lights up the blocks and connections that change, and everything else falls into shadow.

Read the change

• The summary banner names the commit (or “base…through” for a range) and counts changed blocks, changed connections, and files outside the map.
• Expand the summary to list the changed blocks and outside-map files with their line counts. Choose an entry to jump to that block and its inline diff.
• Only changed filters the map (and the file tree branches) to just the change. It starts off for each new choice.
• Prev / Next — or [ and ] — steps through the changed blocks.
• The legend explains the line and connection highlights: changed blocks gain +n −n badges, ancestors show the rolled-up count, and connections restyle as added, changed, or removed.

Changed rows in the file tree carry the same counts, so you can review from whichever view you prefer.
