rad changed

Compare the working branch with a known ref:

git fetch origin main
rad changed --since-ref origin/main

Without --since-ref, use --include-staged or --include-unstaged to include those changes. Repeat --exclude <pattern> to remove generated files or other source files you do not want to mutate. Radforge also reads .muttignore files used by existing installations.

--dry-run prints the plan rather than submitting it. --budget limits the session’s total candidates, not the number per file.

rad changed --since-ref HEAD~3 \
  --exclude 'generated/**' \
  --budget 200 \
  --dry-run --json > changed-plan.json

Choose a language workflow

rad changed currently plans TypeScript and JavaScript changes. It ignores Python paths and does not accept a --language option.

TypeScript and JavaScript

Run rad changed against the comparison ref:

rad changed --since-ref origin/main

Python

Python change analysis runs through the GitHub App:

1. Install the GitHub App for the repository.
2. Push the Python changes to a branch.
3. Open a Python-only pull request. The GitHub App starts the hosted mutation run and publishes its result as a GitHub check.

If a change includes both TypeScript/JavaScript and Python, split the changes into separate pull requests. One pull-request run cannot span both language profiles.
