Comparing two branches in Git?- Git compare two branches

Question

I have two branches, branch_1 and branch_2.

I want to see the differences between the two branches in Git.

Answer 1

To produce the difference between the tips of the two branches.

git diff <branch_1>..<branch_2>

To find the difference from their common ancestor to test, you can use three dots instead of two:

git diff <branch_1>...<branch_2>
