Congrats on the launch! I tried this on a migration project I'm working on (which involves a lot of rote refactoring) and it worked very well. I think you've nailed the ergonomics for terminal-based operations on the codebase.

I've been using Zed editor as my primary workhorse, and I can see codebuff as a helper CLI when I need to work. I'm not sure if a CLI-only interface outside my editor is the right UX for me to generate/edit code — but this is perfect for refactors.

Amazing, glad it worked well for you! I main VSCode but tried Zed in my demo video and loved the smoothness of it.

Totally understand where you're coming from, I personally use it in a terminal tab (amongst many) in any IDE I'm using. But I've been surprised to see how different many developers' workflows are from one another. Some people use it in a dedicated terminal window, others have a vim-based setup, etc.
