AI writes code so fast that it’s become harder to review changes, and online PR review efficiency is too low.
I’ve been using IntelliJ IDEA as my primary IDE (now my main code viewer).
The built-in Git plugin works okay for local changes, but what I really need is to continuously see the diff between “current branch vs target branch”.
The Commit panel only shows local differences, and the GitHub/GitLab plugins don’t work well with our custom Git source server.
Today I found an IntelliJ plugin: Git Scope, which solves a major pain point I’ve had since entering the AI coding era.
Git Scope fills this gap perfectly — it allows comparison with any branch / tag / commit.
After installing it, I feel like my IDE is finally adapted to the AI coding workflow.
