Feature Description

Good day!

I feel lack of the Compare link/button.

Don't really understand, how do I compare (as a user) two commit's or release's sources? What should I click?

Propose to add the Compare link/buttons:

on the repository page,
on the commit page,
on the release page,
on the tag page,
on the commits page (for each commit item),
on the tags page (for each tag item),
on the releases page (for each release item).

Thanks!

I don't see any associated Gitea documentation (which maybe should be there), but you can compare two commits/tags/branches by following the steps mentioned in the GitHub docs.

It was introduced in #6991, and after manually testing it by following these docs it works fine.

This does not mean we should blindly follow GitHub; I would welcome some way to access this compare web UI in a more convenient way.

i think it will be super good to have possibility to compare in history what changed per file between commits because sometimes commits could be very big and contain a lot of files.
