Why we included this project

lumen is a terminal code review tool that shows git diffs, commits, branches, and GitHub pull requests side by side, with tree-sitter syntax highlighting. It ships as a single static Rust binary, so it stays responsive even on diffs that run to thousands of lines. The AI features are the strongest draw: it can draft commit messages, explain what changed, and generate git commands, with support for more than ten providers. It also works with Jujutsu (jj), and annotating selections or hunks plus watch mode helps when reviewing stacked commits over a longer session. Developers who live in the terminal and review larger changes will likely find this a useful addition to their workflow.
