How to compare the range of commits in a pull request on Github?

Question

The script, the first 5 commits in PR are already checked by a code. He made several more attempts and wants to focus on them.

How can I compare the range of commits in a pull request on Github?

Answer 1

The most convenient way I've found is:

• Open PR dialogue
• Find the last commit that has already been viewed and click its hash link, your URL will look like https://github.com/airbnb/javascript/pull/188/commits/2b6c524e6984f300f6c6e08e57c8dbab9497e798
• Change commits to files and add ..HEAD at the end of the URL, e.g. https://github.com/airbnb/javascript/pull/188/files/2b6c524e6984f300f6c6e08e57c8dbab9497e798..HEAD

You will see the range of commits that you want to view in the context of PR.

PS Now GitHub provides functions for viewing “Changes since the previous code review”, but sometimes it’s useful to manually select the changes

Github support replied:

To do this, you can use the comparison view:

https://github.com/rails/rails/compare

You can also create a comparison URL manually, for example.

https://github.com/rails/rails/compare/c51aa9f6f2c361e1efc53020028592564318e8a6...35a816a86a74e35b00e1e6d6e55aff01dd40980d
