Comparing commits across time – via github User Documentation
Posted by jpluimers on 2017/05/02
To get to the compare view, append
/compareto your repository’s path.
This brings you the basic comparison interface which is very flexible: just enter a branch, tag or history marker in the dropdowns for base and compare.
Examples from the user docs:
- compare branches
- compare tags (for instance version markers like
v2.3.3) - compare commits (with two hashes)
- comparing forks (very powerful!)
- comparing time periods (like 2 weeks ago)
- comparing two dates
- compare commits (with the ^ shortcut using one ^ per step back in time)
