A new Git diff TUI called difi, written in Go, has been released. The tool aims to improve the experience of reviewing changes before committing. Built for speed, difi offers instant launch times without needing a background process. Its design emphasizes a clean file tree and focused diffs, streamlining the mental process of code review.

Difi integrates seamlessly with Neovim and other editors. Users can quickly jump to specific lines within their editor to make necessary changes. The tool provides a keyboard-driven interface, allowing for efficient navigation and interaction, eliminating the need for a mouse. Its features include auto-open functionality and visual diff rendering.

Installation is straightforward via Homebrew or a simple Go install. After running difi, it compares the current branch against the default. The project is open source, and contributions are welcome. The project is designed to make reviewing and refining Git diffs an easier process. The project is currently at 30 stars.
