Live Refresh & Blame
Live refresh
Section titled “Live refresh”As you edit files in another window, press r to reload the diff from git.
Skim re-reads the current diff and updates the view without losing your
place, so you can keep an editor and a review side by side and refresh as you
go.
| Key | Action |
|---|---|
r |
Refresh the diff (reload from git) |
Because Skim always reflects the live state of git, refresh also picks up
changes from staging: stage a file with a, refresh, and see
it move.
Git blame
Section titled “Git blame”Toggle a git blame column in the gutter to see which commit last touched each line as you review.
| Key | Action |
|---|---|
B |
Toggle git blame in the gutter |
Blame is rendered inline in the gutter alongside the line numbers, so it doesn’t disrupt the diff layout.
