In this post, I'll show how to search and compare different branches in VS Code. This is an easy and straightforward procedure using a Vscode extension.

Shortest Way

git diff master..feature

Smart Way

In this method, we're using a Vscode extension called Gitlens to search and compare two branches. You can use the same method for comparing two commits.

Requirement

• VS Code : https://code.visualstudio.com/download
• Gitlens (Extension): https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=eamodio.gitlens
