How to compare commits between two branches?
I am sorry to ask this probably basic and stupid question, but how can I compare the commits on two different branches, or make commands between branches (basically compare or merging/rebasing changes)?
I'm trying to stop using Intellij Idea, and I basically need the functionalities of seeing the different branches, comparing commits between two branches and merging some other branch commits into the current one.
Thank you in advance!
Comparing is simple: CTRL+Left Mouse button to select the two commits. However I'd have a related question: Whenever I select another file in the compare overview, a new TAB will get opened, which is quite unfortunate if you want to compare multiple files.
Not sure whether there's a way to tell git-graph to not always open a new TAB for the file diff, but re-use the same tab, similar to what Git-Extensions is doing?

@kiinoo I am not sure whether we are talking about the same thing? You can just ctrl+click any two commits to compare them
@schwaerz commits in 2 branches may not be shown at the same time, see below:
How can I compare "1" (in branch "aa") and "ignreo .env" (in branch "main") commits?
Sorry, not clue what's going on on your end. The screen shot looks very much different to what I see on my end.
If you're sure that this graph is rendered from the same plugin, there's probably a setting to display every branch in a separate tab? On the other hand, as the branches itself are displayed differently compared to my screen shot I rather believe that we're not using the same plug-in.
@schwaerz i see, I'm using vscode default git graph in the left side pane, thought it is this plugin...
Just today I found the same graph (the one you were seeing)...
Lost that button to open the graph, but it is still available in ...
