SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Review a git branch by finding where it forked from the default branch and reviewing each commit since then, using only local git state and without network access or altering repository state.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Determine the fork point between the current branch and the default branch using solely local refs.
  • List commits on the current branch since the fork point and inspect each with full messages and diffs.
  • Ensure safety by avoiding fetch, checkout, or remote operations while performing the review.

Quick Start

Resolve the current branch fork point and prepare a structured local review of commits without network access.

FAQPage Schema
How do I review commits on a local git branch without network access?▼

To review local git branch commits without network access, find the fork point from the default branch using local refs, then inspect each commit's full messages and diffs. This keeps your repository state unchanged while providing a complete branch review.

What is a git fork point and how does it help with branch review?▼

A git fork point is where your current branch diverged from the default branch. Identifying this local state divergence isolates the specific commits made on your branch for targeted review.

How can I see the diff for each commit since branching off the main branch?▼

You can see the diff for each commit by locating the fork point between your current branch and the default branch, then iterating through local commit history to display full details and code diffs since that divergence.

Can I review my git branch locally without triggering a fetch or changing repository state?▼

Yes, you can review a git branch locally without triggering a fetch or altering repository state by using strictly local refs to determine the fork point and inspecting commits, ensuring no remote operations occur.

Does local branch review consider project documentation and contribution guidelines?▼

Yes, local branch review considers project documentation and contribution guidelines during the commit inspection process. This ensures your local diffs and messages align with established project standards.
