critique is a beautiful terminal-oriented user interface tool for reviewing git diffs that makes inspecting source control changes more intuitive and readable directly from the command line. The tool provides a styled, split-view diff layout with syntax highlighting and word-level diffing, which gives developers clear insight into what has changed in each file beyond simple line additions or deletions. It supports viewing diff ranges across commits, staged versus unstaged changes, and even comparisons between branches, turning the diff output into a more interactive, readable experience than traditional git diff. Critique is built with a terminal UI foundation and can also generate a web preview of diffs by converting ANSI escape codes into styled HTML, which can be shared temporarily via a cloud worker for collaborative review.
