Diff command (/diff)

View and review workspace changes, commit history, and agent turn diffs interactively within the TUI.

Note

The /diff command is for the Antigravity CLI. To review diffs, comment on lines, and commit changes in the Antigravity App, see Review changes.

Overview

The /diff command opens the Interactive Diff Viewer, a full-screen panel that allows you to inspect changes in your workspace and conversation history. It has three views (All Changes, Per Turn, and Commit Tree) and provides an interactive review workflow where you can add line-by-line comments to steer the agent’s next steps.

Interactive diff viewer panels

To open the diff viewer, follow these steps:

1. Type /diff in the prompt box.
2. Press Enter.

/diff

Navigation and controls

The diff viewer has three views, which you can switch between with ← / → (or Tab):

• All Changes: Shows a list of all modified and untracked files in your active workspace:
  • Supports Git, Mercurial (Hg), and Jujutsu (JJ) automatically.
  • Use ↑/↓ to navigate the file list, and Enter to open the detail view.
• Per Turn: Shows the changes introduced by the agent in each turn of the current conversation:
  • Useful for reviewing the agent’s work step-by-step.
  • Use ↑/↓ to navigate, and Enter to view details.
• Commit Tree: Renders an interactive commit graph/tree of your repository:
  • Use ↑/↓ to navigate the commit chain.
  • Press Enter to list the files that the selected commit changed in the All Changes view.

Step-by-step walkthrough

Here is how to use the diff viewer to review changes, add comments, and steer the agent.

Reviewing workspace changes (All Changes view)

When you run /diff, it opens in the All Changes view, which lists modified and untracked files (or shows No uncommitted changes if there aren’t any):

Press Enter on a file to open its Detail View, which shows the unified diff. To move around the diff:

• Use ↑/↓ to move the cursor from line to line.
• Use ←/→ to quickly swap between files without returning to the list.
• Use N/Shift + N to jump to the next/previous change.

Adding comments and steering the agent

While in the Detail View, you can review the code and write feedback directly onto specific lines:

1. Locate the line: Move the cursor to the line you want to comment on.
2. Open the comment input: Press C. A comment input opens below the line:

3. Write your feedback: Type your feedback and press Enter to save (or Esc to cancel).
4. Manage your comments: Saved comments are marked in the diff. You can delete a comment by highlighting the line and pressing D.
5. Exit and submit: Press Esc to return to the file list. Press Esc again to exit /diff. If you have unsent comments, the Unsent Comments screen appears:
   • Press Y to send the comments and exit. Your comments are formatted and sent to the agent as your next prompt, allowing you to steer its next turn.
   • Press N to exit without sending, discarding the comments.

Reviewing turn history (Per Turn view)

Press → (or Tab) to switch to the Per Turn view. This groups changes by the conversation turn in which they were introduced, allowing you to inspect what the agent did in previous steps:

Navigating the commit tree (Commit Tree view)

Press → (or Tab) again to switch to the Commit Tree view. This renders the repository’s commit history as an interactive graph. Use ↑/↓ to navigate up and down the chain:

Highlight any commit and press Enter to list the files it changed in the All Changes view, and then press Enter on a file to review its diff:
