hawkshaw
hawkshaw is a terminal-based tool that provides a focused, fullscreen, side-by-side interface for reviewing Git changes. It walks users through unstaged modifications one file and hunk at a time, allowing verdicts on each before automatically updating the Git index. Users then run git commit themselves. It is designed for developers who want a streamlined, distraction-free way to review and stage code changes directly in the terminal.
