A new version of the commit details page is now available in public beta!
This new page, which is enabled by default, lets you quickly understand and navigate the changes in a commit with improvements to filtering, commenting, and keyboard navigation.
What’s new 🎉
Here are a few of the noteworthy changes:
- Floating comments: Code comments float over the diff when selected. To select, click on the commenter’s avatar to the right of the line.
- Comment counts: To help you identify files with comments, the number of comments for a file now appears in the file tree.
- Keyboard navigation within diffs: You can now navigate around changed lines in the diff using the
upanddownkeys on your keyboard. A new context menu also makes it easier to comment, copy, and select. - Quick view switching: Switching between unified and split views no longer reloads the page.
- Filter by file extension: Easily filter changed files by file extension in the diff to see the content most relevant to you.
- Filtered out diffs hidden: When filtering the file tree, diffs are filtered as well, allowing you to reduce distraction and see the files you care about most.
