revet diff

Show findings only on changed lines vs a branch or commit. Perfect for focused PR reviews.

revet diff main               # findings on lines changed vs main
revet diff feature/auth       # vs a specific branch
revet diff HEAD~1             # vs previous commit
revet diff main --fix         # with auto-fix
revet diff main --format json # machine-readable output

How it differs from revet review

revet review (diff mode) shows all findings in any file that has changed. revet diff goes further — it filters to only the exact lines that were added or modified.

• New files: all findings shown
• Modified files: only findings on changed lines
• Deleted files: excluded

Use revet diff in PR review workflows where you only want to be notified about findings introduced by the current change.
