# DESCRIPTIONcritique is a terminal user interface for reviewing Git changes. It follows the same mental model as git diff: with no arguments it shows the working tree (including untracked files); --staged shows the index; one or two refs compare history in the usual ways.The TUI uses Tree-sitter for syntax highlighting, word-level diffs, split or unified layouts, and keyboard navigation between files. Optional modes upload previews to critique.work, export PDFs for e-readers, or run critique review through OpenCode or Claude Code for AI explanations.It requires Bun (not Node.js). Install with bun install -g critique or run via bunx critique.# CAVEATSRequires Bun. Web uploads send rendered diff HTML and the raw patch to critique.work (uploads expire unless licensed). Lock files and very large file diffs may be hidden automatically.# SEE ALSO[git-diff](/man/git-diff)(1), [delta](/man/delta)(1), [lazygit](/man/lazygit)(1)# RESOURCES
