How do you review and edit branches diffs?

[dpieve]

I'm looking for the recommended workflow for reviewing my changes before opening a Pull Request.

Currently, if I right click on a Local Branches on the left panel and select Compare with... I can I see the diffs between my feature branch and the target branch main or dev.

However, this tool doesn't allow me to edit any file. If I see something I don't want - even a simple whitespace, I can't delete/modify it.

Is there a built-in way to do this, or is the expected workflow to review the diff, switch back to the file editor, make changes, and then compare again?

As far as I can tell, the Compare window is currently meant for reviewing the branch diff, not editing the working tree.

So yes, the workflow is basically:

compare feature -> main/dev
find something you want to change
edit it in your normal editor
then refresh/reopen the comparison

It would definitely be convenient to have an "open this file in editor" action directly from the diff though, especially for small cleanup like whitespace.
