Git compare functionality
danielmurray opened this issue · 4 comments
I love atom's git integration... but it only marks that changes exist in folder/file/lines as compared to the git HEAD. I would like to implement a feature to compare any two branch/commit/tags, and eventually a tree visualization graph. Do either of these features make sense to be integrated in this repo? If not, are there any other projects/repo/packages that I should look into contributing to?
@tuckbick, bingo that is exactly it, be able to change the comparison commit from HEAD to any branch/tag/commit
second feature request/question is perhaps clicking on the gutter to show the diff of the two files
This does sound very useful, but I don't think we're likely to prioritize work on this soon. I'm closing out old issues because we've moved this package into the main Atom repository. FWIW, This may be something that we would most likely accept a PR for, if you submitted one that met our contributing guidelines. Thanks!
