This extension is perfect for when you frequently switch between feature branches and want to see what files you were previously working in on that branch.

Features

  • Autodetect parent branch
    Branch Diff will automatically detect the parent branch of your current branch and show what files have changed.

  • Manually select parent branch
    By using the "Change Parent Branch" button, you can easily update which branch your current one is compared to.

  • Refreshes automatically on file change and branch change
    The changed files should update automatically as you work. If anything falls out of sync, there is also a manual refresh button.
