README

pi-changed-files

A quick and easy way to see which files have changed in your working directory.

When you're deep in a coding session, it's helpful to have an at-a-glance view of what's changed without leaving the Pi interface. This extension shows a floating overlay of all git-modified files with their +added / -removed line counts, so you can orient yourself instantly.

Beyond just viewing changes, it lets you navigate the list and select a file — it's automatically inserted into the prompt as an @file mention and copied to your clipboard, so you can immediately reference or share the path without breaking your flow.
