ThinkRail: review AI code changes in a visual workbench

Resource details

For people with a simple website or Git project who want to see which files AI changes. Git and model-provider authorization are required; start with a small reversible change.

Platforms

Windows

Content updated

2026-10-27

• Windows desktop use requires Windows x64; the README also lists macOS 14+ and Linux glibc 2.38+ with GTK/WebKit requirements.
• Git must be on PATH. Prepare your own Git project.
• Authorize JetBrains AI or another model provider supported by pi. Provider fees and service terms apply separately.
• A desktop release does not require a source-development setup. Developing the source separately requires Bun 1.4.4 and Node.js >=22.19.

This entry uses the official Windows desktop installation route and provides no CLI launch command. The fixed commit identifies the reviewed documentation and license snapshot; release installers were not individually verified.

Common pitfalls

• Fully extract the Windows installation ZIP and keep setup beside its payload. The desktop route does not assume the optional CLI is installed.
• The app connects to a model service and may modify project files. Save the original state and review diffs, account charges, and data-sharing scope.
• The README describes basic usage events and error reports. The optional additional-data setting does not mean all basic events are disabled.

Complete resource

【小目标】打开自己的测试项目，让 AI 修改首页标题，再在差异视图中核对这一次改动。

【开始前准备】Windows桌面路线需要Windows x64；README另列macOS 14+、Linux glibc 2.38+及GTK/WebKit等要求。
Git必须在PATH中；准备自己的Git项目。
需要JetBrains AI或其他pi支持的模型供应商授权；模型服务费用及条款另行适用。
直接使用桌面安装包不要求先配源码开发环境；自行开发源码另需Bun 1.4.4、Node.js >=22.19。

【三步尝试】1. 选择对应的桌面安装包：打开官方Releases，选择Windows x64的thinkrail-desktop安装ZIP及对应SHA256SUMS；完整解压，按README运行与payload在一起的setup程序。
2. 打开自己的小项目：启动应用，连接自己的模型供应商，再打开一个自己的Git项目；从小改动开始，例如修改首页标题。
3. 检查差异再决定提交：查看Changes中的差异并核对页面；确认结果符合要求后，再自行决定是否提交。

【检查结果】应能打开自己的项目、发起一次任务并在差异视图中看到具体文件改动；这只是用户可核对的目标，本站未实机验证。

【来源与许可】官方仓库 JetBrains/thinkrail；固定提交 8e7ced35f4e651a763cc00453573f0f796830349，提交日期 2026-10-27（UTC）。2026-10-27 14:12:39（北京时间）读取的 GitHub daily 滚动榜中观察到本项目；这不是当日整天的排名或安全背书。
主项目按 Apache-2.0 允许在条件下商用、修改与再分发，无需逐个联系作者；保留完整许可与适用声明，修改文件标明更改。许可不授予商标权，模型供应商与发布安装包依赖另核对。

本站只提供原创导览和官方入口，导览按 CC BY 4.0 分享；不捆绑上游源码、安装包、图标、模型或用户素材。项目许可不自动覆盖依赖、商标、模型服务或托管平台，具体分发产物须另行核对。

2026-10-27 已只读核对官方固定提交的资料、完整许可和适用声明，按资料编写这份练习；本站未安装、登录或运行上游项目，也未进行安全审计。预期结果是供你自行核对的目标，不是本站实机测试记录。

How to use it

Open your own test project, ask AI to change its home-page title, and inspect that change in the diff view.

1. Choose the desktop package for your system

   Open the official Releases page and choose the Windows x64 desktop installation ZIP and its SHA256SUMS. Fully extract the ZIP and follow the README to run setup beside its payload.

2. Open your own small project

   Start the app, connect your model provider, and open your own Git project. Begin with a small task, such as changing the home-page title.

3. Review changes before deciding to commit

   Review the diff in Changes and check the page. Decide for yourself whether to commit only after the result meets your request.

Expected output

You should be able to open your project, start one task, and inspect specific file changes in the diff view. This is a goal for you to check; the site has not tested it on a device.

On 2026-10-27, the site reviewed official materials at a fixed commit, the complete license, and applicable notices to write this exercise. The upstream project was not installed, signed into, or run, and no security audit was performed. The expected result is a goal for you to check, not a record of a device test by this site.

Suitable uses

• For people with a simple website or Git project who want to see which files AI changes. Git and model-provider authorization are required; start with a small reversible change.

Before using it

• The main project permits commercial use, modification, and redistribution under Apache-2.0 conditions without individual permission requests. Retain the complete license and applicable notices, and mark modified files. Trademark rights are not granted; model providers and dependencies in release installers need separate review.
• Fully extract the Windows installation ZIP and keep setup beside its payload. The desktop route does not assume the optional CLI is installed.
• The app connects to a model service and may modify project files. Save the original state and review diffs, account charges, and data-sharing scope.
• The README describes basic usage events and error reports. The optional additional-data setting does not mean all basic events are disabled.

   2. Grant of Copyright License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
      this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
      worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
      copyright license to reproduce, prepare Derivative Works of,
      publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute the
      Work and such Derivative Works in Source or Object form.

   3. Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
      this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,

      with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You
      institute patent litigation against any entity (including a
      cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work
      or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
      or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
      granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
      as of the date such litigation is filed.

   4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
      Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
      modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
      meet the following conditions:

      (a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or
          Derivative Works a copy of this License; and

      (b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices
          stating that You changed the files; and

      (c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
          that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
          attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
          excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
          the Derivative Works; and

      (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
          distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
          include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
          within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
          pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
          of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
          as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
          documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
          within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
          wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
          of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
          do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
          notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
          or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
          that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
          as modifying the License.

      You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
      may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
      for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
      for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
      reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
      the conditions stated in this License.

   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.

   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
      names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
      except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
      origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.

   7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
      agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
      Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
      WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
      implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
      of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
      PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
      appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.

   8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
      unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
      License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.
