How to review agent edits in Git and Diff views before committing with Bettercode

Open a project, let an agent change files, then inspect staged and unstaged changes in the app before you commit.

Who it is forA developer who lets a coding agent edit code and wants to check every change before it enters Git history.

The problemAgent edits land across many files quickly, and reading them in a terminal or chat log makes it easy to miss a bad change.

The outcomeYou see each staged and unstaged change next to the conversation that produced it and commit only the changes you accept.

What you need first

  • A 64-bit Windows 10 or 11 PC, an Apple Silicon or Intel Mac, or an x64 Linux machine
  • An account with at least one supported AI provider, connected in Settings → Providers
  • A local project folder you can open in the app
  • Willingness to run an unsigned beta build and save work often

Steps

  1. Download the newest beta for your platform from the GitHub Releases page, expand Assets, and install it.
  2. Open BetterC0de, connect a supported AI provider in Settings → Providers, and open your project folder.
  3. In Editor mode, start a conversation and describe the change you want the agent to make.
  4. Open the Git and Diff views and inspect the staged and unstaged changes.
  5. Reject or fix anything you do not want, then commit the changes you have reviewed.

Prompt for your agent

In the BetterC0de repo's Git and Diff views, open the project at <project-path> after an agent has edited it. List every staged and unstaged file with a one-line summary of each change, and flag any change you cannot explain. Verify that the list matches `git status` run in <project-path>.

Caveat. BetterC0de is an early beta, so review diffs carefully and keep a saved copy of your work before running agent changes.
