Coming soon to the GitHub Copilot desktop app: editable diffs!! ✏️ Agent got you most of the way there? Make those last tweaks directly in the diff, right where you’re reviewing the changes. Co-authored with Lichin Lin!

@lichinlin This is a great upgrade. Editable diffs make the final review and refinement much smoother.

@lichinlin FYI @AmirNapster @KuomarsRahimi @mehrandvd

@lichinlin Powered by @pierre/diffs, or same engine as GitHub web?

@lichinlin Custom components for the app only.

@lichinlin You really cooked then haha 💪

@lichinlin 👨‍🍳😁

@lichinlin Wow, this will be 💯💯💯

@lichinlin Being able to fix one stubborn hunk in place feels huge, can I do that without restarting the whole agent run?

@lichinlin No need to do anything with the agent. You’ll be able to just edit the diff in the changes tab.

@lichinlin This adds a new commit? Edits a commit it made? Or this is all pre-commit/PR?

@lichinlin This first version lets you edit uncommitted changes and does not commit them but we’ll iterate to allow more use cases. Are you interested in a particular one?

@lichinlin The useful metric is not diff edit speed. Track post-merge revert rate and review overrides on agent-authored changes, or faster diffs just move risk downstream.
