Compare two branches

[iyersubrax]

Hi. I am new to Git. Wonder whether it is possible to compare two branches just like show diff shows within the same branches.

good idea

When I get the time, I will implement a pull request feature in abapGitServer much like on GitHub

I want to start with the pull request feature with implementing the branch diff feature. A few more thoughts on the PR-feature:

• The code inspector could be the CI runner
• Other CI runners like gitlab pipelines or travis are not primary necessary to integrate in the first step as we can run abaplint with sci
• When merging the PR we can put the objects into a transport order, if they are not already in one. Multiple transports for one object can be omitted with approach.

its difficult to run code inspector unless abapGitSever is on a separate server than the development server, as it requires pulling the code to the system

merging the PR: nothing should happen in the system triggered directly by the server, its up to the git client what to do on the target system
