Can I compare a commit range in bitbucket like I could in crucible?

[simon democko]

In Crucible you could drag a range between two commits in a code review. This was very useful, if you returned to the review after a while and was interested only in a set of commit changes. Particularly useful if a bunch of commits actually did some back and forth changes and you are not interested in the mid-steps only in the end result.

On bitbucket I can check changes of the whole PR, or individual commit changes. Is there a way to see changes for a range of commits, or I'm unlucky? Is this planned? Or is it for some reason difficult, unfeasible for Atlassian to do?

Hey @simon democko , we have added the missing compare view in Bitbucket 6.3:

Thanks,

Hi! I meant within the pull request itself, this requires to go and copy the commit numbers from the PR into this interface, which is cumbersome. But definitely an improvement.

Thanks for the answer. We don't have any UI for doing that but you could try using the small hidden feature of Pull Request.

If you know the commit hashes you could prepare the custom URL for the pull request:

https://your-stash-instsance.com/projects/PROJECT-NAME/repos/repo-name/pull-requests/123456/commits/<<git-commit-id-A>>?since=<<git-commit-id-B->>

Example:

https://your-stash-instsance.com/projects/PROJECT-NAME/repos/repo-name/pull-requests/123456/commits/4455a8804c1927e604b0038ed7bc72a0cc7101ef?since=01843fca50be506f4da77b59d52304c6174d667e

This will show you the custom diff. As you said that's a cumbersome solution. If you feel like we should add the feature into Bitbucket please raise a feature request ticket on https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/BSERV

Thanks,
Maciej

Mad's good workaround answer for better visibility:
