DevDiff VS Code Extension

Privacy-first, BYOAI inline changelog intelligence for VS Code.

DevDiff Logo

DevDiff explains your Git diffs directly inside VS Code. It is built from the ground up for developers who care about security, privacy, and speed.

🚀 Key Features

  • Inline Explanations: Generate detailed explanations for staged changes with a single click.
  • Privacy-First (No Telemetry): DevDiff does not send telemetry, analytics, or source code to any cloud service.
  • Local AI & GPU Inference: Supports local models using WebGPU, WebAssembly, and Ollama (Llama 3.2, Llama 3.1, CodeLlama) so no code leaves your machine.
  • Multi-Agent swarm: Orchestrates a swarm of specialized local agents (Architect, Security, Performance, and Docs) to build consensus on code impact.
  • Vibe-Coding Resilience: Automatically takes pre-AI checkpoints and enables recovery if routed providers fail.

📦 Getting Started

  • Install the extension from the VS Code Marketplace or load the VSIX package.
  • Configure Your Provider in your repository:
    npx devdiff init
    
  • Use the extension:
    • Open the Active Changes sidebar view.
    • Run the command DevDiff: Explain Staged Changes to generate explanations for your staged changes.

🔒 Security & Privacy Model

DevDiff runs completely in your local environment.

  • Zero Cloud Leakage: The data classification engine automatically blocks code containing secrets, keys, or passwords from being sent to external endpoints.
  • Compliance Ready: Enforce GDPR, HIPAA, SOC 2, and other frameworks out of the box.
