# Why some of us like "interdiff" code review
I am currently in the process of evaluating [Gerrit Code Review](https://www.gerritcodereview.com/) for work. Gerrit is an open source code review tool, as the name might imply, and works with Git repositories. What that means is that given some repository, you can:
1. Write patches to the codebase, and submit them for review
2. Other people look at the code you wrote
3. They leave comments telling you to fix various problems
4. You might even fix some of them
5. Code review is a pretty good idea, in general
6. If it's open source, someone might merge your code, and you let out a sigh of relief, knowing that you are off the hook and have increased their responsibilities and technical debt for all timeshow original

This is interesting. I’ll read more on this “interdiff” approach.
Some developers like “interdiff” code review systems instead of GitHub because they show changes between versions more clearly. This makes it easier to see what was changed, especially in big projects. It also helps teams discuss specific lines of code better, leading to improved collaboration and feedback.
