WhatTheDiff - Simplifying your pull request process

In the fast-paced world of software development, keeping your team aligned is crucial. WhatTheDiff is an innovative AI-powered tool that streamlines the pull request process, ensuring every change is communicated effectively. Let our AI manage your pull requests while you focus on coding!

How It Works

WhatTheDiff employs advanced AI to process your pull request diffs through the GitHub and GitLab APIs. When a pull request is made, the app reads the code changes and intelligently generates a detailed description. The application can summarize complex diffs into simple language, making it easy for both technical and non-technical stakeholders to understand. Additionally, our AI offers contextual code suggestions for refactoring, making it a collaborative tool for teams. By maintaining strict privacy standards, we do not store your code or its diffs, ensuring confidentiality and security. The AI's learning capability helps it adapt to various coding styles and languages, providing a tailored experience for every user. Here’s how it works:

Usage

Getting started with WhatTheDiff is incredibly simple. First, you’ll need to create an account and connect it to your GitHub or GitLab account. Once you’re set up, you can select a plan that suits your needs, including our free tier, which allows 25,000 tokens per month. When making a pull request, just initiate it as you normally would. The application will automatically analyze your diffs using the connected API and generate a descriptive summary of your code changes. You can share this summary directly with your team or stakeholders, ensuring everyone is informed. As you continue working, WhatTheDiff provides in-line refactoring suggestions, making the code review process smoother. To keep track of your progress, you will receive weekly updates summarizing all changes made throughout the week. Whether you are a solo developer or part of a large team, utilizing WhatTheDiff can streamline your workflow substantially, freeing you up to focus on what really matters — coding!

FAQ

1. What is WhatTheDiff?

WhatTheDiff is an AI-powered app that reviews the diffs of your pull requests and generates descriptive comments about the changes in plain English.

2. What are tokens?

Tokens are the units we use to process the git diff of your pull requests to create descriptive comments. Larger diffs require more tokens.

3. How does WhatTheDiff work?

The app uses the GitHub/GitLab API to analyze code diffs and an AI model to generate human-readable descriptions. We do not store your code.

4. Does it work with all programming languages?

Yes, we support nearly all programming languages, with our AI capable of explaining diffs in plain English or other supported languages.

5. What happens if I run out of tokens?

You can either upgrade to a larger plan or wait until your next billing cycle.

6. Do you store my code?

No, we do not store your code or any diffs of your pull request. We strictly use the API to read data.

7. Do unused tokens roll over?

Unused tokens do not accumulate for future months; choose your plan wisely!

8. Why do you need full access to my code?

We require full access to read diffs as there is no specific GitHub or GitLab permission to access just the diffs.
