modem-dev/hunk

Project overview

It targets the increasingly common problem of reviewing multi-file, agent-authored changesets: plain-text terminal diffs are hard to review interactively, and hunk mirrors Git's diff-style commands while opening changesets in an interactive review UI with bundled Git, Jujutsu, and Sapling backends plus GitHub PR review without the GitHub CLI.

Best for

• Developers and AI engineers who need to review multi-file, agent-authored changesets with AI annotations interactively in the terminal.
• Teams already using Git, Jujutsu, or Sapling who want a single diff viewer that also covers GitHub pull requests without the GitHub CLI.

Key capabilities

• Mirrors Git's diff-style commands (diff, show, log) but opens changesets in a review UI.
• Auto-reloads file and Git-backed reviews as the working tree changes.

Limitations and risks

• The extension API is experimental and may change in breaking ways between minor releases.
• Release discovery uses hunk's anonymous aggregate endpoint, implying network calls to a vendor endpoint during install and update. Verify this behavior fits your environment's policies before adopting.

Getting started

• Install via the one-line curl script, npm, Homebrew, or mise. The standalone binary requires no Node.js. Then run `hunk diff` in a repository.

Evidence and sources

• README: Hunk is a review-first terminal diff viewer for agent-authored changesets
• README: The default installation method on macOS and Linux downloads a standalone binary and installs it into `~/.hunk`.
• README: npm, Homebrew, and default install-script installs use Hunk’s canonical update command:
• README: hunk # show help
• README: Hunk mirrors Git's diff-style commands, but opens the changeset in a review UI instead of plain text.
