Git review pane for Hermes Desktop: every changed file of the agent's last turn, uncommitted, staged or unstaged work, the branch since it left the default branch, or any selection of commits, in one scroll, unified or split, with syntax colours; cites changed lines into the composer as @line: references; and stages, unstages, discards, commits, pushes and opens pull requests from the pane.

## Good to know before installing

Reads run git subprocesses (rev-parse, status, diff, log, show, cat-file, ls-files, for-each-ref, branch, remote, rev-list, merge-base, symbolic-ref, hash-object) with timeouts and output caps, external diff and textconv drivers disabled.

It reads files and history inside authorized repositories only (the focused workspace, configur

## How to install

1. Install it. Hermes asks for any API keys it needs, then asks whether to turn it on.

```bash
hermes plugins install git-review
```

2. Said no? Turn it on later:

```bash
hermes plugins enable git-review
```

3. Restart Hermes so it loads the plugin.

Some plugins also need a sign-in or settings: see the official page. Memory plugins ask whether to become your memory provider instead. Steps follow the official plugins guide: https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/user-guide/features/plugins
