Question

On Gitlab, how to compare a file of two different commits? I know that that on command line git, the command is:

git diff commit1 commit12 -- file_name
         


        

Answer 1

It will compare commits, you will be able to find file in list.

1. go to Repository > Compare
2. paste this url: https://gitlab.com/$USER/$REPO/compare?from=$SHA1&to=$SHA2
3. hit enter (notice: gitlab will set 'Source' and 'Target' properly)
4. click button 'compare'
