What The Diff
What The Diff is an AI-powered GitHub and GitLab app that explains pull request changes in plain English.
What-the-Diff is an AI-powered code review assistant that reads the diff of your pull requests and writes descriptive comments about the changes in plain English. The application uses the GitHub and GitLab API to fetch diffs and passes them to an AI model to generate descriptions, summaries, and changelogs. It is designed for development teams who want to keep non-technical stakeholders informed with simplified notifications and progress reports. The tool also supports inline code refactoring and does not store your code or train models on it. It works with nearly all programming languages and offers features like automated descriptions, webhooks, and Slack notifications.
