[feat]: Add ability to view commits separate from pull-request

[zastrowm]

Feature Summary

I'd like to be able to view the diff of commits even when there is no PR published. After commiting changes I no longer have a way to view those changes

Problem or Use Case

The agent commits changes and I want to review what's been done before pushing

Proposed Solution

Expose a way to view commits that aren't associated yet with a pull request

Alternatives Considered

I can not commit them but just leave them staged

Additional Context

No response

Hi @zastrowm,

Thanks for raising this. This makes sense, and it’s already on our list. We’re currently thinking through a rework of the right sidebar and are planning to include this functionality there as well.

@arnestrickmann good to know - is there a tracking issue that I can use to track?

Any idea as to timelines? I'm noticing a lot of funky behavior with the file view(s) and I'm wondering if I should take a look at fixing them or I should just wait for the rework

Hi @zastrowm,

To be fully transparent, we don’t have a public tracking issue for the right-sidebar rework yet, and there are a few higher priority items ahead of it right now. So I don’t want to give you a timeline that we may not hit.

If you’re open to taking a look at the current file-view issues in the meantime, a PR would be very appreciated. We’d be happy to review it, especially if it’s scoped to fixing the current behavior without depending on the larger rework. 🙏
