Local codereview tool for handing structured review to agent

A developer released local-review, a single-user tool for reviewing git branches and exporting structured markdown reviews to coding agents. The tool combines a Go backend with a React frontend into a single binary, using SQLite for persistent draft storage across multiple repositories.

A local, single-user tool for reviewing a git branch, leaving line/range comments, and exporting the review as markdown to hand to a coding agent. Go backend + React frontend, shipped as a single binary. See SPEC.md /rosenbjerg/local-review/blob/main/SPEC.md for the design. The React app builds into web/dist , which the Go binary embeds — so build the frontend first, then the binary: 1. frontend cd web npm install npm run build cd .. 2. single binary embeds web/dist go build -o local-review . ./local-review -root /path/to/folder-of-repos Opens http://127.0.0.1:7777 in your browser. Pick a repository any git repo directly under the root , then a head branch base defaults to the merge-base with main / master , review the diff, click/drag line numbers to comment, then Export to preview, copy, or download the markdown. The SQLite DB lives next to the binary local-review.db , keyed by repo path, so one install serves many repos and resumes each independently; draft reviews are pruned after -retention-days default 30 . | flag | default | purpose | |---|---|---| -root | . | folder containing one or more git repositories | -port | 7777 | listen port | -retention-days | 30 | prune draft reviews older than this on startup | -no-open | false | don't auto-open the browser | Run the Go server and the Vite dev server side by side Vite proxies /api to :7777 : ./local-review -root /path/to/folder-of-repos -no-open terminal 1 cd web && npm run dev terminal 2 → http://localhost:5173
