[areibman]

Feature Request

Display the diff view by default when viewing branches or pull requests.

Description

Users should see the code differences immediately when selecting a branch or PR, rather than having to manually open or toggle the diff view.

Proposed Implementation

• Set diff view as the default display mode
• Auto-expand diff on branch/PR selection
• Maintain user preference for diff display settings
• Add option to remember last view state
• Include summary statistics (files changed, additions, deletions)

UI/UX Considerations

• Collapsible diff sections for better navigation
• Syntax highlighting for code changes
• Side-by-side or unified diff view options
• File tree navigation for large diffs
• Quick jump to specific files
• Line numbers and change indicators (+/-)

Configuration Options

• User preference to disable auto-show diff
• Choice of default diff view (unified vs split)
• Configurable diff context lines
• Option to hide/show whitespace changes
• File exclusion patterns

Benefits

• Immediate visibility of changes
• Reduced clicks to view important information
• Faster code review workflow
• Better understanding of branch/PR scope

Acceptance Criteria

• [ ] Diff is displayed by default when selecting branch/PR
• [ ] User can configure default behavior
• [ ] Diff view is performant for large changesets
• [ ] Navigation within diff is intuitive
• [ ] Settings are persisted across sessions
