How gitlab show fork branch ahead or behind upstream branch like github?

Question

In github web ui, we can see the sync status message of our fork project branch is ahead or behind of upstream project branch, just like :

This branch is 1 commit ahead of [projectName]:[branchName].

But in gitlab, I can't find it!

My Question is : Is there some way to show this kind of message in gitlab web ui?

Answer 1

As far as I know this is not currently possible.

I am actually working towards something similar, but I will probably end up writing a script to fetch and compare the logs of various repos, so I can do this from my own developer machine shell.
