Git Github Pull Request Shows Wrong Diff Stack Overflow It sounds like you'd rather see a "two dot diff", which would show the changes between the two most recent commits on each branch. in future you can merge the base branch back into the head branch. If this scenario sounds familiar, you’re not alone. a "wrong" diff in github prs—especially when branches *seem* identical—often stems from misunderstood git behavior, hidden history discrepancies, or environmental quirks. in this blog, we’ll demystify why this happens and walk through step by step solutions to resolve it.
Git Github Pull Request Complex Conflicts Stack Overflow Prs that i have been involved with have had some inconsistent representation when it comes to diffs in the "files changed" tab. according to this github documentation, pull requests normally use the triple dot diff when displaying files changed. We have had several deliverable held up by confusion created by not being able to see a standard diff in devops and it’s not obvious to all of our users that the diff is a merge base diff. Using this method, you can navigate through the reflog entries to pinpoint the exact commit, which can then be used to generate a precise diff for your pull request. The diff view when comparing two branched in depot sometimes gives false information that i can`t understand. here i list the two branches in question, the version number in each file, and the diff comparisons with the diff client in git bash.
Git Github Merge Pull Request Conflicts Stack Overflow Using this method, you can navigate through the reflog entries to pinpoint the exact commit, which can then be used to generate a precise diff for your pull request. The diff view when comparing two branched in depot sometimes gives false information that i can`t understand. here i list the two branches in question, the version number in each file, and the diff comparisons with the diff client in git bash. People have checked in several bug fixes to the release branch and then cherry picked them into the development branch. however, the pull request is still showing those fixes as differences, even though both files are identical when i checkout each branch and directly compare them. Resolving these conflicts and pushing the merge will result in the correct diff on the pr but this is obviously sub optimal and has a large opportunity for error. In my pull request, i would expect to see a merge conflict, since i am adding to the first few lines of my code. and i am getting the little bar that says "this branch has conflicts that must be resolved".
