About Tuicr

Tuicr is an open-source terminal user interface (TUI) designed for local code review, supporting Git, Jujutsu (jj), and Mercurial (hg) version control systems. It provides a GitHub-style diff view within the terminal, allowing developers to scroll through changed files continuously. The tool features vim keybindings for navigation and editing, enabling modal movement, visual selection, and search. Users can leave line-level, range-level, file-level, or review-level comments, classifying them as issue, suggestion, note, praise, or custom types. Tuicr offers three export targets: pushing a real PR review to GitHub via the :submit command (requiring gh authentication), copying structured markdown to the clipboard for use with coding agents like Claude Code or Codex, or piping the markdown to stdout for scripting and downstream workflows. The tool is distributed as a single static binary and can be installed via curl, Homebrew, Cargo, mise, or Nix. It includes over 20 built-in themes and supports an agent skill bundle for integration with AI coding assistants.

FAQ

What version control systems does Tuicr support?
Based on available information, Tuicr supports Git, Jujutsu (jj), and Mercurial (hg). It auto-detects the VCS, checking for jj first (which is Git-backed underneath), then git, then hg.
How do I install Tuicr?
Tuicr can be installed via curl (curl -fsSL tuicr.dev/install.sh | sh), Homebrew (brew install agavra/tap/tuicr), Cargo (cargo install tuicr), mise (mise use github:agavra/tuicr), or Nix (nix run github:agavra/tuicr). The exact commands should be verified on the official website.
Can I submit a PR review to GitHub using Tuicr?
Yes, Tuicr supports submitting a real PR review to GitHub via the `:submit` command. This requires the `gh` CLI to be authenticated to the repository. The command opens a picker for Comment, Approve, Request changes, or Draft.
How does Tuicr integrate with AI coding agents?
Tuicr can copy structured markdown to the clipboard (via `y` or `:clip`), which can be pasted into AI agents like Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor. It also includes an agent skill bundle that ships the `/tuicr` skill to Claude Code or Codex, allowing the agent to open Tuicr in a tmux split for review.
Is Tuicr free to use?
Yes, Tuicr is open-source and appears to be free to use. The pricing model listed is 'free', and the source code is available on GitHub under the MIT license. There is no indication of paid tiers or usage limits.
What are the system requirements for Tuicr?
Tuicr is a single static binary with no runtime dependencies. It runs in a terminal and requires a Unix-like environment (Linux, macOS, or WSL). It auto-detects the version control system (Git, jj, or hg) and requires the `gh` CLI for GitHub PR submission. Specific system requirements should be verified on the project's documentation.
