Fix Action

Fix / Workaround

Claude Code currently has no equivalent. The only workaround is to manually commit a checkpoint before starting a session and then use git diff HEAD / git reset --hard HEAD.

Preflight Checklist

  • I have searched existing requests and this feature hasn't been requested yet
  • This is a single feature request (not multiple features)

Problem Statement

Codex has a feature that shows a per-file diff of only the changes made within the current chat session, and allows reverting just those changes without touching anything else.

Claude Code currently has no equivalent. The only workaround is to manually commit a checkpoint before starting a session and then use git diff HEAD / git reset --hard HEAD.

Requested behavior:

  • A way to view a diff scoped to the current session (what Claude changed, not the full git diff)
  • A way to revert only the changes made in the current session, per-file or all at once

Proposed Solution

Requested behavior:

  • A way to view a diff scoped to the current session (what Claude changed, not the full git diff)
  • A way to revert only the changes made in the current session, per-file or all at once

TL;DR

Implement a session-based diff and revert feature in Claude Code to view and undo changes made during the current session.

Guidance

  • Identify the current limitations of Claude Code's diff and revert functionality compared to Codex.
  • Determine the technical requirements for implementing a session-based diff, such as tracking changes made during the session.
  • Consider using Git's internal state or a separate change tracking mechanism to store session-specific changes.
  • Design a user interface to display the session-based diff and allow users to revert changes.

Example

No code example is provided due to the lack of technical details in the issue.

Notes

The implementation details of the proposed feature are not specified, and the technical requirements may vary depending on the underlying architecture of Claude Code.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Implement a custom solution to track and display session-based changes, as there is no clear indication of an existing feature or fixed version that addresses this issue.
