Git workflow commands

Reference for Claude Code slash commands that integrate with git: /commit, /review, /diff, and /pr_comments.

Claude Code ships four commands that integrate directly with your git workflow. Each one runs inside the REPL and uses the GitHub CLI (gh) or standard git commands under the hood.

/commit

Generates and creates a git commit for your current changes.

When you run /commit, Claude Code:

1. Reads the current git status, git diff HEAD, branch name, and recent commit history.
2. Drafts a concise commit message that follows the repository’s existing style.
3. Stages relevant files and creates the commit using a HEREDOC to avoid shell-quoting issues.

/commit never amends existing commits, skips hooks, or commits files that look like they contain secrets (.env, credentials.json, etc.). If no changes are staged or unstaged, it will not create an empty commit.

The command is restricted to three git operations: git add, git status, and git commit. No other tools are invoked during commit creation.

Basic usage

> /commit
# Claude stages relevant files and creates a commit
# ✔ Created commit abc1234: "fix: resolve null pointer in auth middleware"

> /commit
# Claude reviews all staged and unstaged changes, drafts a message,
# and runs git add + git commit in a single step.

Allowed git operations

Operation	Purpose
git add	Stage files before committing
git status	Read which files have changed
git commit	Create the commit

/review

Reviews a GitHub pull request and provides structured feedback.

Without arguments, /review runs gh pr list to show open PRs and asks you to select one. If you pass a PR number, it fetches that PR directly.

> /review
# Shows list of open PRs to pick from

> /review 42
# Reviews PR #42 directly

Claude Code fetches the PR description with gh pr view <number> and the full diff with gh pr diff <number>, then produces a review covering:

• An overview of what the PR does
• Code quality and style analysis
• Specific suggestions for improvement
• Potential issues or risks
• Test coverage and security considerations

/review requires the GitHub CLI (gh) to be installed and authenticated. Run gh auth status to verify.

Ultrareview

A separate /ultrareview command is available on supported accounts. It runs a deeper, automated bug-hunting analysis (10–20 minutes) via Claude Code on the web, rather than locally. It is only shown when your account has access.

---

/diff

Opens an interactive diff viewer showing uncommitted changes and per-turn diffs within the current conversation.

> /diff
# Opens the DiffDialog UI showing current working tree changes
# and what changed each turn in this session

The viewer is rendered inside the REPL as a full-screen component. It shows:

• Uncommitted changes — the current working tree diff against HEAD
• Per-turn diffs — what files changed during each turn of the current conversation

Press q or Escape to close the viewer and return to the REPL.

Use /diff before running /commit to review what you’re about to commit.

---

/pr_comments

Fetches and displays comments from the current GitHub pull request, including both PR-level comments and inline code review comments.

> /pr_comments
# Fetches all comments for the PR associated with the current branch

> /pr_comments 99
# Fetches comments for PR #99

The command:

1. Runs gh pr view --json number,headRepository to find the current PR and repo.
2. Calls the GitHub API for PR-level comments (/issues/{number}/comments).
3. Calls the GitHub API for inline code review comments (/pulls/{number}/comments).
4. Formats the output with author, file path, line number, diff hunk context, and comment body.

Output format:

## Comments

@username src/auth/middleware.ts#42:
  ```diff
  -  if (!token) return null
  +  if (!token) throw new AuthError()

This should throw rather than return null — callers don’t check the return value.

<Note>
`/pr_comments` requires the GitHub CLI (`gh`) and `jq` to be installed. The command resolves the PR from the current branch automatically. You can pass a PR number as an argument to override this.
</Note>

If there are no comments on the PR, the command returns `No comments found.`
