If you ever find yourself repeating the same comments, you’ll save some time by creating a saved reply. The next time you find you’re going to type that comment again, you can instead just select it from a drop-down menu:

To perform the above action without using my mouse, I can do ctrl + .followed by ctrl + 1.

To make the suggestion, surround a code snippet with a multiline Markdown snippet, with the tag suggestion:

The Octotree extension lets you browse GitHub repositories with a sidebar tree view similar to what you get in applications like VS Code.

To get to the compare view, append /compare to your repository's path.

We'll demonstrate the power of Compare by looking at the compare page for a fork of the Linguist repo, which is at https://github.com/octocat/linguist/compare/master...octocat:master.

Comparisons can be created for arbitrary time periods, like one month or two weeks. To define a time period, type the branch name, followed by a @, and then the date wrapped between a { } notation. For example, typing master@{2weeks} into the base dropdown menu compares the current masterbranch against the master branch as it was two weeks prior.

You can also specify a specific date to compare against. Date formatting must follow the ISO8601standard, which is YYYY-MM-DD (year-month-day).

Comparisons across commits

As a shortcut, Git uses the ^ notation to mean "one commit prior."

You can use this notation to compare a single commit or branch against its immediate predecessors. For example, 96d29b7^^^^^ indicates five commits prior to 96d29b7, because there are five ^marks. Typing 96d29b7^^^^^ in the base branch and 96d29b7 in the compare branch compares the five commits made before 96d29b7 with the 96d29b7 commit.
