Github compare two different repository from different users

Question

I want to compare repo_a from user_a AND repo_b from user_b. I tried to fork them but I still can't compare them!

How can I do this? Can i do it with the Github website? I want to compare them visually, not just in a log file.

Answer 1

GitHub can do a comparing across forks. For example, you can compare the forked repository's master with origin's master like:

https://github.com/octocat/linguist/compare/master...octo-org:master

See GitHub Documentation: Comparing commits across time

Answer 2

You could see the command-line tool github-compare

github-compare urfave/cli spf13/cobra
