Confusion over comparing tags across forks #22881
-
|
I’d like to compare tags across forks in via the URL method but am unable to see diffs (clealy doing this incorrectly). My goal is to see how archlinux/linux tag=v4.17.13-arch1 differs from linux/torvalds tag=v4.17.13 (ie to see what the Arch devs are patching their version of the kernel with relative to the vanilla release). I thought the following would do this but it does not give any diffs: https://github.com/archlinux/linux/compare/v4.17.13-arch1…torvalds:v4.17.13 I’m not sure how to fold in the stable tags to Linus’ tree in the url… on the shell the following works: |

Hi @graysky2, Thanks so much for being part of the GitHub Community Forum. I’ll do all I can to help. First, it looks like you are trying to compare using a tag that doesn’t actually exist. Additionally, you’ll want to switch the order of the URL for better results. Instead of setting up the URL so that you’re querying https://github.com/torvalds/linux/compare/v4.17…archlinux:v4.17.13-arch1 That should yield better results for you. I hope this helps! Let me know if you have further questions. |
