delta-review 0.1.0

A local-first GitLab merge request review interface

DeltaReview

DeltaReview is a fast, local-first interface for reviewing GitLab merge requests. It reuses your existing glab authentication and keeps GitLab as the source of truth.

Status: Alpha.

How it works

Private by design

Quick start

Requires uv and an authenticated glab installation.

Install and authenticate glab

Windows

winget install glab.glab

Restart PowerShell after installing.

macOS

brew install glab

Linux

Homebrew is the officially supported package manager:

brew install glab

Alternatively, install the community-maintained Snap package:

sudo snap install glab

Then authenticate with your GitLab instance:

glab auth login --hostname gitlab.example.com
glab auth status --hostname gitlab.example.com

uvx delta-review https://gitlab.com/group/project/-/merge_requests/42

Current scope

DeltaReview reads text diffs and lets you create, reply to, resolve, and unresolve GitLab discussions. If GitLab rejects a multiline position, DeltaReview tries the last selected line and then posts a clearly labeled general discussion. It does not submit approvals, batch reviews, or render oversized/binary files.

Development

uv sync
npm ci --prefix web
uv run pytest
npm test --prefix web -- --run
npm run build --prefix web
