Diff between branches

[Borges]

Hello,

I love this app, but I am really missing a way of diff ing between
branches.

Ideally, I could select two branches, and see a list of file diffs.

Thanks,
Aaron

Hi,
 
You could use ctlr+click in the browse window to select 2 versions. When 2 versions are selected, the diff tab shows the differences between those versions.

Great, will try this.

It would be nice to somehow support the .. format of git diff:

git diff [--options] <commit>...<commit> [--] [<path>…]
This form is to view the changes on the branch containing and up to
the second <commit>, starting at a common ancestor of both <commit>.
"git diff A...B" is equivalent to "git diff $(git-merge-base A B) B".
You can omit any one of <commit>, which has the same effect as using
HEAD instead.

perhaps as a right click option.

Thanks,
Aaron

Yes, I also need the diff three-dot syntax all the time.

I raised issue https://github.com/gitextensions/gitextensions/issues/1964
that should be helpful for comparison branch with its merge base.
