Feature Description

GitHub and GitLab have this great feature which allows you to see exactly what have changed in the PR since the last time you've looked at it. In Gitea it seems that the only option currently is to view commits one be one.

A tiny step in that directions was made in PR #19007 though it only labels the files as "changed since" instead of providing the diff. Also there are issues #12800 and #19862 , which are more "generalized" versions of this feature request.

This feature would be awesome. I miss it moving from gitlab/github as well.
Thank you for proposing.

I'm missing this feature too. After migrating from gitlab to gitea for about one year, this is the only defect of gitea.

Maybe #13313 could fix this one?

@Artalus commented on GitHub (Dec 19, 2022):

From the issues mentioned there, it seems that people do have a common need - to see what was updated in PR (whether force-push, amends and rebases are involved or not).

Given that Gitea already has an URL /compare/commitA...commitB, one could start from at least adding a user-friendly interface for that in PR page. However it is actually just a comparison of two arbitrary commits, and does not allow reviewing for example.

/compare/commitA...commitB

The /compare/commitA...commitB does not eliminate identical changes of the two commits.
