Staged

A desktop diff viewer for git repositories. View any diff between refs, review changes, and prepare commits. Built with Tauri (Rust + libgit2) and Svelte.

What It Does

Staged lets you view diffs between any two git refs—branches, commits, tags, or the working tree. Select a base and head ref, browse changed files, and see side-by-side diffs with syntax highlighting.

Key concepts:

  • Flexible diffs: Compare any ref to any ref (e.g., main..HEAD, HEAD..@ for uncommitted changes)
  • @ = working tree: Use @ as a ref to include uncommitted changes
  • Review sessions: Mark files as reviewed, add comments (coming soon)
  • File watching: Auto-refresh when files change on disk

Installation

Quick Install (macOS)

Install with a single command:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/baxen/staged/main/install.sh | bash

The installer will:

  • Clone the repository
  • Set up the Hermit development environment
  • Install dependencies
  • Build the application
  • Install to /Applications/staged.app
  • Install the staged CLI to /usr/local/bin

Note: This will build from source, which takes a few minutes. Requires git to be installed.

Command Line Usage

After installation, you can launch Staged from the terminal:

staged # Open in current directory
staged /path/to/repo # Open in specified directory

Each invocation opens a new window, so you can have multiple repos open simultaneously.

If you installed manually (not via the install script), copy bin/staged to somewhere in your PATH (e.g., /usr/local/bin).

Development

Prerequisites

This project uses Hermit to manage development tools (Rust, Node.js, just). Hermit ensures everyone uses the same tool versions without global installs.

First time setup:

source bin/activate-hermit # Activate hermit environment
rustup default stable # Set the default Rust toolchain
lefthook install # Install git hooks for pre-push checks

After activation, cargo, node, npm, and just are all available from the hermit-managed versions.

Quick Start

just install # Install npm + cargo dependencies
just dev # Run in development mode (hot-reload)

Commands

just dev # Run app in dev mode with hot-reload
just build # Build for production
just frontend # Run just the frontend (quick UI iteration)# Code quality
just fmt # Format all code (Rust + TypeScript/Svelte)
just lint # Lint Rust with clippy
just typecheck # Type check TypeScript + Svelte + Rust
just check-all # Run all checks (format, lint, typecheck)# Maintenance
just install # Install all dependencies
just clean # Remove build artifacts

Staged
A desktop diff viewer for git repositories. View any diff between refs, review changes, and prepare commits. Built with Tauri (Rust + libgit2) and Svelte.
What It Does
Staged lets you view diffs between any two git refs—branches, commits, tags, or the working tree. Select a base and head ref, browse changed files, and see side-by-side diffs with syntax highlighting.
Key concepts:
  • Flexible diffs: Compare any ref to any ref (e.g., main..HEAD, HEAD..@ for uncommitted changes)
  • @ = working tree: Use @ as a ref to include uncommitted changes
  • Review sessions: Mark files as reviewed, add comments (coming soon)
  • File watching: Auto-refresh when files change on disk
Installation
Quick Install (macOS)
Install with a single command:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/baxen/staged/main/install.sh | bash
The installer will:
  • Clone the repository
  • Set up the Hermit development environment
  • Install dependencies
  • Build the application
  • Install to /Applications/staged.app
  • Install the staged CLI to /usr/local/bin
Note: This will build from source, which takes a few minutes. Requires git to be installed.
Command Line Usage
After installation, you can launch Staged from the terminal:
staged # Open in current directory
staged /path/to/repo # Open in specified directory
Each invocation opens a new window, so you can have multiple repos open simultaneously.
If you installed manually (not via the install script), copy bin/staged to somewhere in your PATH (e.g., /usr/local/bin).
Development
Prerequisites
This project uses Hermit to manage development tools (Rust, Node.js, just). Hermit ensures everyone uses the same tool versions without global installs.
First time setup:
source bin/activate-hermit # Activate hermit environment
rustup default stable # Set the default Rust toolchain
lefthook install # Install git hooks for pre-push checks
After activation, cargo, node, npm, and just are all available from the hermit-managed versions.
Quick Start
just install # Install npm + cargo dependencies
just dev # Run in development mode (hot-reload)
Commands
just dev # Run app in dev mode with hot-reload
just build # Build for production
just frontend # Run just the frontend (quick UI iteration)# Code quality
just fmt # Format all code (Rust + TypeScript/Svelte)
just lint # Lint Rust with clippy
just typecheck # Type check TypeScript + Svelte + Rust
just check-all # Run all checks (format, lint, typecheck)# Maintenance
just install # Install all dependencies
just clean # Remove build artifacts
