Compare Different Branches In Visual Studio Code
In this post, I'll show how to search and compare different branches in VS Code. This is an easy and straight forward 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
