Glimpse

A browser-based Git diff viewer and code review tool. Compare working changes, branches, commits, or pull requests; leave inline feedback; and hand comments to your coding agent. One Go binary, with a file tree browser and local HTTP API.

go install github.com/smeltery/glimpse@latest
cd your-repository
glimpse            # staged and unstaged changes
glimpse main       # compare against main
glimpse tree       # browse the project

Requires Git and Go 1.26.1+ to install from source. Prebuilt macOS and Linux binaries are available in releases.
