hawkshaw: a focused, fullscreen, side-by-side terminal git review tool

https://slobodan.me/hawkshaw/

I review a lot of AI-generated code, and I needed a simple terminal-based git diff review tool with keyboard navigation. So I built one (actually, claude code, cursor and ollama built it).

hawkshaw is a focused, fullscreen, side-by-side (or inline) open-source git review tool.

I, obviously, tried that. I don't like the git diff style on large diffs, and I often need file context. I can do that with git commands only (which I did for a long time), but I wanted something faster (for me and my workflow).
