Claude code has a VS Code plugin now that lets you view and approve diffs in the editor. Before it did that, I really don't understand how people got anything of substance done because it simply isn't reliable enough over large codebases.
- gaut 1y agoHow is viewing and approving diffs in an editor any less reliable than viewing and approving them through the CLI? It won't make any changes without approval (unless you explicitly grant it auto-approval).
- phillipcarter 1y agoI managed this (and still do) just fine by using source control. Commits are checkpoints and it's trivial (esp. with AI-assisted CLI) to roll things back if needed. Workflow is all about small diffs, with sessions being fine-grained, not about implementing entire features wholesale. Serialize overall plans for feature work as files in the codebase in the interim.
- insane_dreamer 1y agoBefore that it showed you diffs in the console, which worked ok. Claude Code now also has a PyCharm plugin (and probably other JetBrains IDEs) that also shows you diffs in the pycharm editor.
