Hi Folks,<\/p>\n
Recently I came across a cool way to compare differences between two branches, two tags, or between two commits on Github. Many a times in our project we have to thoroughly see what has been a specific change in the code base before we push it on our production branch.<\/p>\n
Here is how you can view the differences in commits:<\/p>\n
On the Github, go to the Source<\/strong> view of your project. You will see a link named ‘Branch List’<\/strong>. Once the page opens you can see a list of all the remote branches. Hit on the Compare button in front of any of the available branches to see the difference between two branches.<\/p>\n Now note the URL in the address bar. It should end with something like ‘…\/compare\/<x>…<y>’ where x<\/em><\/strong> and y<\/em><\/strong> are separated by three dots(…) and their values could be project’s branch names<\/p>\n Isn’t it good?<\/p>\n Well, Git’s (read about git diff) and Github’s goodness does not stop just here. Instead of branch names as the values of x<\/em><\/strong> and y<\/em><\/strong>, you can also put two different commit hashes or tag names to view the differences in the code-base. More so, the commit hashes do not<\/em><\/strong> have to belong to the same branch. So you can pretty much compare your code’s current snap-shot with any of its past snap-shot irrespective of branch<\/strong> or a tag<\/strong> or a commit hash<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Hope this helps someone.<\/p>\n Abhishek Tejpaul Hi Folks, Recently I came across a cool way to compare differences between two branches, two tags, or between two commits on Github.
