Hunk is a terminal diff viewer designed for reviewing code changes in an agentic workflow.
The tool addresses the challenge of reviewing diffs generated by AI agents or automated tools in a terminal environment. Rather than forcing developers to switch to graphical interfaces or web browsers, Hunk provides an interactive terminal interface optimized for the review-first workflow. It integrates with multiple version control systems including Git, Jujutsu, and Sapling, allowing developers to examine and act on diffs within their existing command-line workflows.
Hunk is most suitable for developers working with AI code generation tools or automated code modification systems who want to stay in the terminal while reviewing changes. It works particularly well in agentic coding scenarios where rapid iteration and review cycles are common. The tool's support for multiple version control backends means it can adapt to different team setups rather than locking users into a single VCS choice.
The project shows active development with regular commits across its codebase and consistent engagement with issues and pull requests. The maintainers respond to user feedback and incorporate suggestions into the tool's direction. Development activity indicates ongoing refinement of the core diff viewing experience and expansion of version control system support.
