IntelliJ and Git: how to see the differences between a commit and two old commits?

You probably know this window where you can see the differences between the commit in ONE commit older.

Do you know how I can see exactly the same comparison, but between a commit and a previous commit, which is not necessarily ONE before the current one.

I know I can do it in one file, but I want to do it for the whole project.

You can select any number of commits in the git log window (using shift / ctrl and click or cursor keys) and the right pane will display the accumulated differences.

In IntelliJ, unfortunately, there is no command or action to compare exact versions. Here are a couple of related requests: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-125616 and https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-100431



However, there is a way to see what has changed between the two commits. To do this, you need to go to the Version Control - Log tab and select the entire range between the commits you want (for example, select a late commit, then scroll down to an older commit and Shift-click on it). In the right pane displaying the changed files, you will see all the changes.
