SourceTree equivalent of git diff master...feature

Erik Vandekieft

Hi,

I love the SourceTree diff UI but I need to diff the common ancestor of two branches. In git, the command for this is:

git diff master...feature

Where 'feature' is some feature branch head. Note the triple-dot notation. This means that you want not the difference between the heads of "master" and "feature" but the difference between the common ancestor of "master" and "feature" and the head of "feature".

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks

In SourceTree you can diff any 2 points in history just by Cmd-clicking to select two commit lines in the log view - the differences between those 2 commits, wherever they are, is then displayed. So that includes diffing the common ancestor and the head of the feature branch. However, right now you have to find this common anscestor in the log yourself, there's no automated selection of it.
