Github: comparison between pitchforks?
Short version
When I compare two forks on Github, it doesn't compare the latest states, but the current state of the base fork with the last shared commit (or am I wrong?); so how can I compare the latest states / chapters on Github?
Longer version
I am trying to compare two repositories on Github.
It doesn't seem to be comparing the latest states of both repositories. Instead, it compares:
- basic fork as it was when both repositories where are they identical (last shared commit?)
from
- head plug as it is now.
You can see this in the Github fork comparison example , it says there are no changes between the two repositories, but there are now very different ones.
How do I compare the latest states / chapters on Github?
source to share
https://github.com/github/linguist/compare/master...gjtorikian:master
github:master
updated with all commits fromgjtorikian:master
.
Try switching base for comparison.
This means that all commits from gjtorikian / liguist are part of github/linguist
.
The converse is not true:
https://github.com/gjtorikian/linguist/compare/master...github:master
This would give all (1866) commits github/linguist
that are not part gjtorikian/linkguist
.
This is the triple ...
diff between the common ancestor of the two branches and the second branch (see " What is the difference between double dot" ..
"and triple-dot" …
"in Git diff commit ranges? "):
In the first case, the github/linguist:master...gjtorikian/linguist:master
common ancestor is the gjtorikian/linguist:master
same! O commits transactions.
In the second case gjtorikian/linguist:master...github/linguist:master
, it github/linguist:master
has 1866 points at the expense of a common ancestor (here, since gjtorikian/linguist:master
).
