Digest Diff Product Information

DigestDiff — Learn from commit history using AI is an AI-powered set of tools that analyzes a project’s commit history (not the code) to tell the story of a codebase, accelerate onboarding, summarize recent work, and generate release notes. It treats commit history as a rich narrative source to produce clear, Markdown-ready outputs that can be shared with teams, while keeping code and data private.

How DigestDiff works

  • Utilizes only commit history to generate insights, never accesses or stores your code.
  • Pulls read-only commit history from GitHub repositories (public or private) or accepts manual history input.
  • Generates narrative overviews, standup-ready summaries, and release notes that reflect authors’ contributions and the codebase’s evolution.
  • Outputs are exportable as Markdown for easy sharing and collaboration.

Use Cases

  • Get a codebase overview: Turn a timeline of commits into a detailed narrative describing progress, collaboration, and evolution.
  • Recap recent work: Produce succinct, accurate standup or retrospective updates summarizing recent changes.
  • Create release notes: Automatically generate informative release notes that you can tweak for tone and length.

How to Use DigestDiff

  1. Sign in and connect to GitHub (read-only access recommended).
  2. Choose a repository or paste your commit history (manually supported).
  3. Pick the tool: Codebase Overview, Recap, or Release Notes.
  4. Customize tone, length, and style if needed.
  5. Export as Markdown and share with your team.

Privacy & Security

  • Privacy-first: commits are read-only and never stored or logged on DigestDiff servers.
  • No access to code or content beyond commit history.
  • You can export outputs, but the system does not retain your generated notes or histories.
