Folder style code difference #2959

aminya posted onGitHub

It would be awesome if we can have a folder style code diff, like how Beyond Compare has:

or how Code Compare offers:

When we click on a file, we should see the Github's normal code difference for that particular file. image

This should appear wherever a code difference is shown, most importantly in pull requests (other URLs have less priority). This can help to review the pull requests much easier.

Example URL: https://github.com/JunoLab/atom-indent-detective/pull/17/files


This feature requires considerable effort, it would be its own "app". It can't belong to Refined GitHub.

I'll leave it open for a little longer in case anyone knows anything like this or wants to build a separate extension for it.

Just to clarify, in this request I just wanted the folder representation of differences, not other features of Beyond Compare or Code Compare.

Yeah, that’s still pretty complex, it’s not just a button added somewhere but the whole navigable custom diff view just for folders.

There’s nothing like it in GitHub’s components too so it also needs to be designed from scratch.
