GitDiffSearch

Search within your Git branch changes. Find code in added/modified lines only — stop wading through unrelated search results.

What is GitDiffSearch?

GitDiffSearch is a VS Code extension that lets you search exclusively within your Git branch changes. Instead of searching your entire codebase and wading through unrelated results, GitDiffSearch narrows the scope to only the lines you've added or modified.

Features

  • Branch-scoped search — only search within added/modified lines on your current branch
  • Compare branches — search across diffs between any two branches
  • Keyboard-driven — fully accessible via keybindings for fast workflows
  • Pull request review — quickly find specific changes when reviewing PRs
  • Grep-powered — fast, reliable search using Git's built-in diff engine

Who it's for

  • Developers reviewing their own changes before committing
  • Code reviewers looking for specific patterns in a PR
  • Anyone working on large codebases where full-text search returns too much noise
